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.

Baseball Prospectus Top 100

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

Request: Aaron Cook

Repost of my request in the comments. I am interested to hear more about how you think his mechanics may have led to/contributed to his blood clotting problems, etc.

If possible I wouldn't mind seeing Neftali Feliz and Jhoulys Chacin. I don't want to get too greedy though - so maybe I'll post separate requests down the road.

Also - just want to say keep up the good work, really have enjoyed stumbling across the blog.

Paul Depodesta on the Everth Cabrera

In the interest of promoting the FanShot. Here is some interesting insight on the Padre's selection of Everth Cabrera. I like Paul's blog in general, but it has to be taken with a grain of salt in that he really cannot reveal that much inside information.
