The High Heat Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 There's a decent chance that 49 yr old Jamie Moyer will be in the starting rotation for the Rockies.... http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120330&content_id=27774308&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb After sitting out 2011 with an injury, 49-year-old Jamie Moyer has been named as Rockies #2 starter. Moyer's big league debut came in 1986 against Steve Carlton! Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 http://mlb.mlb.com/n...ws_mlb&c_id=mlbAfter sitting out 2011 with an injury, 49-year-old Jamie Moyer has been named as Rockies #2 starter. Moyer's big league debut came in 1986 against Steve Carlton!I remember seeing Moyer pitch during his short stint with the Red Sox (1996 maybe?) and thinking he was a decent, end of the rotation guy who probably wouldn't be around much longer. I guess that is why I'm not a baseball scout. Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a comfortable place, though. Link to post Share on other sites

Also Matt Cain was extended by the Giants, 5 years, $112.5MM. He could have gotten another two years guaranteed had he gone free agent, so he gave San Francisco a break.

Lammycat Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Great for Jamie Moyer, but what does it say about the Rockies that he is their #2 starter?It says their starting rotation is going to struggle mightily. The #1 starter (Jeremy Guthrie) is ranked in the bottom 3rd of all opening day starters (from the source I read). More important are the patchy scrap heap of the other 4 starters, though. De La Rosa comes back eventually, but it's a real shady rotation regardless. Link to post Share on other sites

Especially in that park, I am not sure on what the Rockies offense is like, but I wouldn't be surprised of teams scored in the double digits on a regular basis at coor's field.

KevinG Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 from everything i've seen and heard, this new marlins park has fiasco written all over it.....at least the team's good again Fiasco in what way? The stadium screams Miami. I always felt the stadium should really be a reflection of the city it is in. It would be weird to have a Camden Yards type of stadium in South Florida. Whereas the colors, home run statue, and fish tank may not be my cup of tea, I think it fits in the city very well. Link to post Share on other sites

Guthrie has been the Orioles "#1" starter the last few years. That tells you all you need to know about the quality of the Rox starters. If only Tulo could pitch! Link to post Share on other sites
nodep5 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 from everything i've seen and heard, this new marlins park has fiasco written all over it.....at least the team's good again from what i've seen from the exhibition games over the weekend, i'd say it is an embarrassment to baseball. Thankfully just changing the color of the padding on the walls will fix at least 75% of the issue. That color (some shade of green/neon/?) doesn't say Miami, it says lazer tag (or other children fun center equivalent). Who knows, I'll never feel ok about Florida having professional MLB teams, so I'm biased. As a Cubs fan the Marlins are hard to swallow. Link to post Share on other sites

Josh Beckett also has an issue with his right thumb, but it's minor and he's supposed to make his scheduled starts. So were the BoSox pitchers holding thumb wrestling contests in Fenway South or what? Link to post Share on other sites

sonicshoulder Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 damn, that Votto signing is good for the reds. I like Votto, he is a hell of a ball player. Since this signing all of the sports talk here in town has now shifted to "now do they sign Brandon Phillips ". He is reportedly not thrilled. Link to post Share on other sites

The High Heat Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Since this signing all of the sports talk here in town has now shifted to "now do they sign Brandon Phillips ". He is reportedly not thrilled. Phillips said on XM a month or so ago that, for his next contract, the Reds "ain't gettin' no Home-Boy-Hookup!" In other news, the Orioles lost to their AAA team today. That means I won a bet! Link to post Share on other sites

Well if it's anything like last year, the pitchers are going to have to hold the other teams to about 1 run. Link to post Share on other sites
