Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd confirmed today that the team has offered a three-year contract to closer Huston Street and multi-year contracts to fellow arbitration eligible players Clint Barmes and Chris Iannetta.

Well this was the news we were all dreading. Wonder how Pedro feels?

Renck says Jason Hammel will get his first start with the Rockies next week.
Also has today's lineups. Bummed to not see Stewart in the lineup.

I couldn't get the picture itself to link - but there's a picture of her opening day sign in Patrick Saunders' article.

Apparently MLB is having Casey blog about his rehab experience this year - should be pretty interesting to see how it goes. Not sure if I missed this in a RP in the last week or so - but i'm too lazy to go back and check.

For those of you who haven't seen it. KG at Baseball Prospectus posted his top 100 prospect list. Rockies check in with the following:
12. Fowler
27. Chacin
45. Rosario

KG usually has alot of good insight - but I have a hard time with 7 of his top 22 have played little to no professional baseball.
Enjoy

I don't know how many of you have see this blog - but its mostly about breaking down pitching and various players pitching mechanics. I don't know much about any of this really but have found it extremely fascinating and imagine that most other people around here might as well. Anyway check out what he has to say about Cookie's sinker.

Pretty interesting profile of JJ's pitching mechanics here. Thanks to VictorW for request.

The Post has an article up about the team signing Rusch. A pretty safe signing IMO.
