I was disappointed to see him go to colorado. Hopefully he can survive the gauntlet of young pitchers, especially those that have to pitch in coors.

Gotta love it when the Rockies get tons of complaints for not focusing on pitchers enough. Only to see the complaints going a different direction when they do focus on pitching. I guess some people just prefer complaining. Just some free advice to either take or ignore, lighten up and life will go a whole lot better for you.

I’m not a rockies’ fan. I’m a fan of baseball in general. Thus, I am less than thrilled to see a promising young pitching talent go there.
I think he’s probably the best kind of pitcher they can take. But as someone who just wants to see him do really well, Coors is obviously not the best landing spot.

Sorry that comment wasn’t directed exclusively at you. I just get tired of people ragging on my team no matter what they do. It is possible to pitch well at Coors. The biggest problem is your (and everyone else’s) thinking. If you go into a situation only focusing on the negatives instead of the challenge ahead, then you are already setting yourself up for inevitable defeat. What I would really like to hear is someone say, “I’d love to go to Colorado because I have a chance to be their best pitcher ever.” The power of positivity works in all facets of life, especially sports.

I was nervous about the pick of Pint, but now that I see Keith Law thinks less of him than other prospect gurus, I absolutely love the pick. Keith Law hates all things Colorado, so Pint should fit in just fine.

The Rockies obviously are always going to struggle with pitching but maybe a pure velocity guy might work. Keith Law actually praised Pint but noted, as many other have, that he hasn’t had to develop his secondary pitches because he could rely on the huge fastball to overpower HS batters. Law also pointed out that because Colorado will probably never be a destination for good FA pitchers developing them – or attempting to – might be the best option. It’s a very strange organization but I don’t really know what they can do; they are always going to be subject to the very real limitations of playing at extreme altitude.
