Original at Denver Post external link    Wed, Nov 18

By trenck@denverpost.com (By Troy E. Renck and Patrick Saunders / The Denver Post) Jim Tracy found the right place and the right team when he jumped into the Rockies' cockpit on May 29. He steered Colorado to the playoffs, executing one of baseball's most amazing U-turns.

Rate Renck: Rockies' strategy with Betancourt risky, yet clever

Original at Denver Post external link    Sun, Nov 15

By trenck@denverpost.com (By Troy E. Renck / The Denver Post) Didn't agree. Not one bit. When the Rockies declined reliever Rafael Betancourt's $5 million option last week, making him a free agent, I cringed.

Original at Up in the Rockies external link    Sun, Nov 8

By tom-stephenson It's been a slow offseason so far.  Apologies for the slowness in getting the 2009 review done. One of the main items of interest so far from the Rockies' perspective is that the team declined Yorvit Torrealba's 2010 option.  The Rockies may still bring Torrealba back, but the team evidently...

By theoldgrizzlybear In Buster Olney's mind, the biggest name that will be part of the expected abundance of non-tendered players is our own Garrett Atkins. There's no way in hell the Rockies would offer Atkins $8-10MM in arbitration, and I'm not so sure they'll find a match for him in a trade, either. Plenty othe...
