Chacin (if he qualifies) should receive some ROTY votes. That ERA and the K’s in Coors field are pretty fantastic for a Rookie

Olivo needs to start basically every game for the rest of the year for his option to become mutual. So, don’t expect it to happen.
Tim Dierkes
I haven’t seen the specifics of that option, do you have a link?
mkorpal
I don’t have a link, but I asked Renck on Twitter, and he said 110 games, so Olivo would need to be in another 22 games.

Carlos Gonzalez is benefiting a TON from Coors Field. His splits are super drastic
jwredsox
Well then it is a good thing he plays in Coors 81 games a year then

His splits aren’t horribly unusual for any player. Coors gets such a bad rap. Yeah, he is killing it at home. Pujols is a front runner for MVP, and his home/road splits are close to as drastic. At least in BA. And in defense of the Rockies, one thing that I don’t think is considered very often is they play a lot of games at sea level in California in parks that heavily favor the pitcher.

CarGo’s splits are his own faults; some people have always been better at home, and Coor’s Field actually makes it WAY harder to adjust at different stadiums.

Coors is a MLB stadium, the stats count as much as they would at any other stadium.
My big surprise of the year is actually how poorly Jim Tracy manages. I guess his history of being fired from other jobs should have been a signal, but 2nd half of 2009 he was King Midas so just surprised how this year has gone. He’s cost them several games this year by not playing small ball in typical small ball situations.

THANK YOU.
This is a factor when a player (Matt Holliday) is leaving Coors but when he plays his splits aren’t that important.
