Rockies Select Chi Chi Gonzalez To 40-Man Roster

By Anthony Franco | March 27, 2021 at 2:59pm CDT

The Rockies announced they’ve selected the contract of right-hander Chi Chi González. Reliever Scott Oberg has been placed on the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man roster spot. Oberg’s career is in jeopardy after he underwent surgery to remove blood clots from his right elbow yesterday.

González has pitched in twenty games (starting 16) for Colorado over the past two seasons. The former Ranger hasn’t performed particularly well, managing just a 5.66 ERA/5.62 FIP with worse than average strikeout and walk rates (16.8% and 11.7%, respectively). Still, the 29-year-old will give manager Bud Black a multi-inning option capable of working out of the rotation or in long relief.

Additionally, Colorado announced they’ve optioned Lucas Gilbreath and Colton Welker and reassigned a host of non-roster invitees (Greg Bird, José Briceño and Eric Stamets among them) to minor-league camp. Dereck Rodríguez and Connor Joe are the only non-roster players who remain on the major league side of Spring Training.

    I want to see Chi Chi sign with the Cubs then get traded to the White Sox.

    Who wants to bet the Rockies barely win 60 games

      They’ll be at least at 72. This team was on the cusp of the playoffs last year. Nolan is a big loss, but he is not a 20 win player. The Rox won’t be good, but they won’t be as bad as everyone thinks either.

    Every time I see his name I remember Chi Chi Rodriguez the golfer, and the way he waved his putter like a sword if he made a big putt. But I’m old.

      I remember seeing him do crazy golf tricks, including bouncing a golf ball on a wedge (or high iron) face like a hackey sack until bouncing it well above his head and then taking a full baseball swing to hit it on the way down…a few hundred yards dead center in the fairway.

      I also was a fan of the way Les Nessman pronounced Chi Chi’s name.

    The Rockies would be a last place team in AA.

    On good days, Chi Chi is a solid #5 starter. Unfortunately those days don’t happen very often. But probably their least bad option with Freeland out.

    They like Chi Chi Gonzalez because he picks up groundballs like a madman.
