Comments on: Rockies Roster Shaping Up http://www.prosportscolorado.com/2010/01/29/1308-rockies-roster-shaping-up/ A community for fans of all Colorado professional sports teams Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:38:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jason Ackerman http://www.prosportscolorado.com/2010/01/29/1308-rockies-roster-shaping-up/comment-page-1/#comment-2411 Jason Ackerman Sat, 30 Jan 2010 05:21:33 +0000 http://www.prosportscolorado.com/?p=1308#comment-2411 I agree about Yorvit. They're crazy if they think he won't be missed. Embree was nice, but one of these yo-yos the signed to a minor league deal should be able to step in and fill those shoes. I'm guessing the injury was bad enough to warrant the departure. I'd love to go to AZ, but my family will insist on going - great that I have a family that loves baseball, but that makes it an expensive family trip, so I'll save it until we can all make the journey. Hopefully next year, it will be me, my wife, and my kids cheering on the Rockies at their new spring facility in Glendale. I agree about Yorvit. They’re crazy if they think he won’t be missed.

I know Olivo is capable, and either one was going to be riding pine most of the season anyway, but I have been to exactly two MLB playoff games and Yorvit was huge in both of them. (Rain Game vs Diamondbacks in '07... that line-drive homer. I was in club level and it sailed right across my vision. A thing of beauty, says I.) Aside from that, I would have preferred to see Embree hang around. Unless that injury from last season is still an issue, he's a far sight better than Randy "Control Issues" Flores any day. All in all, a solid off-season with core remaining intact. In fact, I'm so excited about the '10 season that I'm thinking about driving down to AZ this spring... The Torrealba exit stinks.
