He’s Arrived

By JohnnyFiveOh on  From rockiesandroll.com
While Ubaldo Jimenez has been wowing Colorado baseball fans since 2007, many around the nation still didn’t know who he was.  The NL West has been known as a pitcher-rich division.  However, Jimenez’s name came up as one of the elite.  San Francisco had Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain.  Arizona had one of the premiere one-two punches with Brandon Webb and Dan Haren.  Before Jake Peavy was traded to Chicago, San Diego had one of the best starters in the game.  Even in Los Angeles, experts were...Read Full Story

Ubaldo Jimenez: Breaking out

By mc3sportsmedia on  From athbaseball.com
For years Major League pitchers have been cringing about taking the mound at Coors Field. Veterans who had been extremely successful on other teams around the league watched their career ERA's vanish into the thin mile high air of Denver after they signed deals with the Rockies.  It was bad enough that many baseball experts openly wondered if the Rockies would ever be able to field a team capable of contending. Two things have changed in Colorado.  First, a humidor was built to keep...Read Full Story

Don't Cry, Jeff Francis

By sooze on  From babeslovebaseball.com
Colorado Rockies pitcher Jeff Francis is scheduled to have exploratory surgery on his pitching shoulder next Wednesday and will likely miss the entire 2009 season. The lefty went 4-10 with a 5.01 ERA, pitching through pain from May on. He finally landed on the disabled list and was shut down in September. This, coming after he enjoyed a 17-9 record and 4.22 ERA in 2007. Francis hadn't felt much discomfort during camp this Spring, but changed his tune once seeing video of himself throwing on...Read Full Story

Is Ubaldo Jimenez going to make history this season?

By btempl on  From baseballindepth.com
After another stellar outing tonight (7 IP, 1 H, 0 ER), Ubaldo Jimenez is 8-1 with a mind-boggling 0.99 ERA.  While it is still early in the season and one bad outing can destroy a great ERA, it looks like Ubaldo is in a zone that could last the entire season.  He could have the type of season where the question isn't whether he'll win the Cy Young Award but where it ranks among the greatest of all time: 20+ Wins, .800+ W-L%, 2.20 ERA or lower (since 1920) 1999 Pedro Martinez (Red Sox...Read Full Story

More Ubaldo Jimenez

By btempl on  From baseballindepth.com
It might even be too low of a goal at this point, but I had written before about what it would take for Ubaldo Jimenez to finish with 20+ Wins, .800+ W-L% and a sub-2.20 ERA.  After his complete game shutout today, which puts him at 10-1, 0.78 ERA, we need to re-evaluate. Reaching 20 wins and having a winning percentage above .800 won't be the problem.  The tough part is the ERA because it can be destroyed by one bad outing whereas that one loss wno't hurt the winning percentage that much...Read Full Story

Anchored by ace Ubaldo Jimenez and stoked by the bright promise of lefty Jorge De La Rosa, the Rockies were the preseason toast of baseball. A promising, perhaps even excellent rotation, made a National League West title seem quite plausible.
