Rockies Likely To Get de la Rosa
According to Tracy Ringolsby, the Rockies are likely to receive pitcher Jorge de la Rosa from the Royals as the player to be named later in the Ramon Ramirez deal. The Rox will have him start at Triple A now that he's cleared waivers and accepted his minor league assignment. He went unclaimed partially because of his $1.025MM salary.
De la Rosa, a southpaw, turns 27 in a few days. He hit the DL in August with an elbow strain. He was also affected by a bruised thumb. His fastball averaged 92.3 mph in '07, not bad for a lefty.

I'm all for being smart and smart about the game of baseball, but if this site starts to have man-crushes on Brian Bannister i will feel nauseous when i check it for updates.

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.. but I think that people simply appreciate a player who clearly is doing more pitching with his head than with his arm.
And does anyone know what the Rockies will have in mind for de la Rosa? Will he be groomed as a starter or to be a power reliever in the bullpen?
