Apparently this franchise has become the ugly girl at the party...she's only fun if your loaded and there is no one else left...Anyone want them, throw your hats in now.

Just wanted to let you know my deepest regrets for leaving. I didn't want too but real life calls. Thanks again guys for the hospitality. I didn't have the time to dedicate to this team as some of you found out (papps, 28).

The Rockies are in a good spot but doesnt have alot of cap space open but they have good young players already locked up long term who are all ready and future all stars.
Building around Zimmerman, Pedroia, Tulowitzki, Bruce, Upton, Price, Lester and McCann there is a lot to like about this lineup and pitching staff.

That being said some work is needed to get COL to contending for the division.( Being healthy will help). They need some more SP and some proven bats in CI positions as well as overall depth in the lineup. These will be addressed down the road after getting a look at who's avail in FA or via trade during the year. (Well be getting with you Oudan you are the trade king) :thumbsup:

I see this team being able to take the division this year if healthy for rest of season and a couple small trades to add depth.

This league seems like its the most entertaining on this site with the activity in FGM I see it being a great league to join.I'd like to take the Rockies and see what I can do with a bit of luck and some good talent to go with it. I like the challenge of taking this team not living up to its hype and build it to a contender.

Also a little about me Im very active and I hate losing in any sport. My favorite teams are the Mets, 49ers and the Devils. One of my favorite movies is Moneyball and I like to take teams in that state and build them to be winners not just one hit wanders but a dynasty.

Thank you guys for your time and I hope to be the next Rockies Gm and join this great active league.  :toast:

I'll re-apply for the Rox job (I don't Know if I was ever officially given the Co-GM title with Eric, but that was our idea.) I have already evaluated some of the trade offers coming through for Price and other players. I believe everyone here knows what I can do with a bad team, so it will be nice to takeover a good team for once. The small cap doesn't bother me at all (see NE :MIA-MLB:), in fact, I like the challenge and prefer it over the bigger cap teams.

Quick question, should I continue to keep the roster active on FanTrax throughout this process? I dont have a problem doing so.
