If agents don’t like how the Rockies handle salaries of pre arbitration players, they can read the CBA for some clarity.

The 2 are not mutually exclusive. You can read and understand the CBA and still not like how they handle it

Strasburg has a 4.50 ERA at Coors… and has only pitched there once. Kershaw has a 5.25 ERA in 12 starts at Coors. Lincecum has a 4.52 ERA in 14 starts at Coors. Seeing this and the quote above stating each of these guys have career ERAs above 6 in Coors, one can’t help but wonder how much Monfort’s “insights” have hindered the Rockies during his tenure as owner.

Monfort doesn’t let the facts get in the way.

Taking into account revenue sharing (deducting it from total payroll), the Rockies payroll/revenue rate was 36.9% in 2013, well below the MLB average of 47%. And while its payroll has increased 15 million this year, they are getting an additional 25 million in revenue from the national TV increase, so they are still under 40% payroll/revenue. Spend more of that revenue and you may have more revenue from the additional wins.

We could win 90 games this year. It would be an incredible year of bizarre good fortune but anything is possible.

6 comments?! The owner of the Rockies just gave his state of the organization address, and only 4 people cared to comment. There are 28 comments in response to the article regarding Jamie Moyer joining the Phils’ broadcast team! Just an observation – but this is indicative of the type of fan that the Rockies organization creates. Very few people truly care about the Rockies…what a shame

We no longer care. Nobody ever gets fired. Nothing changes. The beatings will continue as scheduled.
