    Infographic: Pitcher Jamie Moyer has shut down the Rockies' best hitters

    The best reason to have Jamie Moyer in the Colorado Rockies clubhouse is that he's a good pitcher with the team's best earned-run average.

    Rockies sign Michael Cuddyer and other un-exciting but solid players

    Cuddyer.​While other teams like the Miami Marlins and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are spilling money on free agents like a drunk at the bar who just won the lotto, the Rockies are making un-sexy yet sound acquisitions.

    Drew Pomeranz excellent in his major league debut for Colorado Rockies

    Pomeranz.​If you told Rockies fans at the beginning of the year that on September 11, Carlos Gonzalez, Troy Tulowitzki and Todd Helton would not be playing and the highlight of the game for a sub-.500 team would be a 6-foot-5 rookie pitcher from Mississippi, they might have punched you in the ...

    The Colorado Rockies aren't worried about offense, but they should be

    Carlos Gonzalez.​Today's rain-out of the Rockies-Mets game means there will be only slightly less power on display than if the teams had played. The Rockies, perennially amongst league leaders in many offensive categories, have gone disturbingly limp at the plate in the early going.

    Colorado Rockies: If they want to prove they're baseball's best, they've got to school the Giants

    Troy Tulowitzki.​Just to provide a little perspective on the Rockies having the best record in baseball: Their opponents are a combined 25-36 this year.

    Colorado Rockies: We fearlessly predict... 98 wins this season

    Jim Tracy: One big reason for optimism.​On April 6 of last year -- opening day for the Colorado Rockies -- I fearlessly predicted that the team would end the 2009 campaign with a meager 72 victories.
