The Colorado Rockies 2011 Season will be spent monitoring not who is manning the sprawling lawn at Coors Field, but rather how well these young outfielders develop beyond their 2010 performances at the plate.
The Rockies completed the sweep of the Blue Jays and salvage a 4-3 record on the home stand, saving June from being a complete disaster.
Ubaldo Jimenez didn’t need to pitch 6 Innings of 2-hit baseball on Tuesday night… but he did anyway. U-Ball grabbed his 5th win of the season without breaking a sweat, as the Rockies’ re-shuffled lineup brutalized troubled Arizona starter Edwin Jackson for 10 runs in 2 1/3 Innings.
Keli McGregor was with the organization since its inaugural year in 1993. Over 17 years with the Rockies, McGregor worked his way up the administrative ladder, settling into the Executive President position in 2001. Keli and 1st Baseman Todd Helton were good friends. Along with players like Helton, McGregor helped to form a Christian core within the Rockies organization that regarded character as highly as talent.
