Garrett Atkins

…the buzz from Colorado suggests infielder Garrett Atkins will be on a new team next season, because the Rockies will either non-tender him, making him a free agent, or they’ll trade him… Despite hitting just .226 last season for the Rockies, Atkins hit .268 against left-handed pitching; he hit .357 against lefties in 2008; .286 in [...]

They don't need to shorten the season by 20 games. They need to play the World Baseball Classic during spring training. We are 10 days past where we would be during a normal season. Even still, about 10 days ago I was sitting in Coors with 40 degrees and rain. That was no fun either.Anyway, if I understood the "breaking news" they just pulled the plug on tonight  

The National League playoff field is set. With today’s 9-2 beatdown of the Milwaukee Brewers, the Colorado Rockies clinched their second playoff berth in three years. The St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, and now the Rockies will represent the National League in the 2009 postseason. It’s been a crazy year for the Rockies. In the offseason, they traded arguably their best player in Matt Holliday and lost arguably...  

ST. LOUIS — Mark McGwire, one of the game’s most star-crossed sluggers, is back in baseball. He returns as the Cardinals’ new hitting instructor under manager Tony La Russa, who officially signed a new contract today. For the past few years, McGwire has been working underground with hitters, including Matt Holliday and Rockies’ third baseman Garrett [...]  

Sporting News has named Colorado Rockies manager the 2009 NL Manager of the Year. A panel of 22 MLB managers voted and selected Tracy for the first Manager of the Year award in his career. Under Tracy, the Rockies went 74-42 since taking over and ended the regular season  32-games over .500 and earned a Wild Card spot. Giving this award to Tracy appeared to be a no brainer for anyone who payed attention to the Rockies since Tracy took over on...

DENVER — Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy is juggling his lineup again, flip-flopping Garrett Atkins and Yorvit Torrealba for Game 4 of the playoffs against the Philadelphia Phillies. The weather warmed considerably after a cold front moved out...  

Now that was cold. No, not the weather. It was downright frigid, of course. But when Troy Tulowitzki flied out to end the game early today, it was as if tens of thousands of Rockies fans felt the chill for the first time.  

Had he not made the most agonizing move of his 27 years in baseball -- firing his friend and manager, Clint Hurdle, after the Rockies' 18-28 start -- Dan O'Dowd might be collecting unemployment right now. Instead, the 50-year-old G.M. was named by 31 ...  

Bob L.I surely don't think its hard to knock a hitting coach even though the team was second in runs. Why?Number 1, the team plays half its games in a cavernous ballpark where singles can equal doubles or triples faster than you load up a brawt! This is the same ballpark where you better average 5 runs or more, otherwise, your going to be looking up at an .450 winning percentage. You can also sum this point up by looking at the pitching era's...
