On Thursday the Rockies finalized a Minor League contract with Tim Redding.  On Friday word was spreading that he is a clubhouse cancer.
The Rockies pride themselves on pursuing not just good baseball players, but baseball players who conduct themselves with integrity and have high moral standards.  This fact has led to the team having great clubhouse chemistry and a focused approach.
A day after signing with the Rockies, Redding is doing his best to destroy that reputation.
On Friday it became national news that Redding had gone on a radio show and discussed how former teammate Mike Bacsik had purposely given up [...]

The Colorado Rockies signed journeyman starting pitcher Tim Redding on Wednesday.  It is clear that the Rockies fan base has grown because of the overall panic that has been associated with signings like this.
Redding was signed to a Minor League contract with an invitation to big league camp.  He is by no means going to be this seasons version on Jason Marquis.  He is not going to push Jason Hammel or Jorge De La Rosa out of the rotation.  He is simply being brought in for depth.
Many Rockies fans are scared that the righty, who was accused of being out [...]

As they do every season FSN Rocky Mountain, home of the Colorado Rockies, is playing replays of classic Rockies games.
On Monday night the station played two classic games back-to-back.  Leading off the two games was the first-ever Major League Baseball game in Colorado.  Any true Rockies fan knows the most important moment of that game, which was a leadoff home run off the bat of Eric Young.  The game very much set the tone for early Rockies.  They scored 11 runs in that game and blasted their way to a win.
The game immediately following the opener was the October 1st, [...]

Saturday marks the second annual FanFest at Coors Field.  Before the 2009 season the inaugural FanFest was for season ticket holders only.  The second time around the Rockies have been kind enough to invite Mini-Plan holders as well.
The day is filled with self guided tours of the clubhouse and the Rockies own museum.  The day also has four autograph sessions that will take place in the Mountain Ranch Bar & Grille, the restaurant the sits in the corner or the right field stands.
There are at least 14 players who are scheduled to make an appearance, whether to sign autographs, or be available [...]

In the past few days the Rockies have signed Paul LoDuca and Jay Payton to minor league deals.  They are reportedly going to watch Eric Gagne work out as well.
Rockies nation is up in arms.  Comments on newspaper websites and popular Rockies blogs are full of confused fans.  Why would the Rockies sign another catcher when they have two on the roster, one waiting in the wings in the form of Paul Phillips and two more top prospects on the farm named Mike McKenry and Wilin Rosario?
Why would the Rockies sign another outfielder when they already have a logjam in [...]

The Monfort brothers, majority owners of the Colorado Rockies, have been called frugal, cheap, selfish and many other names.  On Tuesday they continued their march of proving people wrong.
The Rockies have reportedly locked up closer Huston Street to a three year deal worth around $21 million, and set-up man Rafael Betancourt for two years and $7.55 million.
The moves are proving that the Rockies are not simply a farm team for the rest of the league like so many have accused them of being.
The Rockies embarked on a painful rebuilding process starting in 2002 when it became clear that they were [...]

The Colorado Rockies are experiencing a problem for the first time in their history.  They have too much depth.
As they head into the 2010 season looking to make the playoffs for a second straight season, the Rockies have signed outfielder Ryan Spilborghs to a two-year deal worth $3.25 million according to the Denver Post.
Spilborghs was slated to be the Rockies centerfielder heading into the 2009 campaign until the team made the decision to have prized prospect Dexter Fowler make the jump from Double-A to the big leagues.  On top of losing his starting job, Spilborghs struggled through a tough season. [...]

The Rockies offseason has been incredibly quiet.  Besides the signing of Miguel Olivo and the departure of Yorvit Torrealba, little will be different for the 2010 Rockies.  While the Rockies were the best team in the National League after Jim Tracy took over on May 29th, some fans believe that the team should not rest on its laurels and should go after some free agents.
One area for improvement could be on the offensive side at second base.  No one argues that incumbent Clint Barmes is a great defender.  With him and Troy Tulowitzki up the middle it doesn’t get much [...]

My name is David Martin and I will be the administrator for this site.  I bring a unique perspective on the Colorado Rockies baseball club.  I have been watching them since their inception in 1993.  There have been good times and bad times.  I have seen the Rockies go through the Blake Street Bombers era, the Mike Hampton era, the Todd and the Toddlers era and the current era, which I like to refer to as the “patience is rewarded” era.
I have been blogging about the Rockies for almost a year now.  My website is www.rockiesreview.com if you want to [...]
