It was a fairly busy week for the Colorado Rockies, as the non-tender deadline was yesterday evening. Ahead of the deadline, the Rockies made a few moves that saw them keep Jacob Stallings, Lucas Gilbreath and Sam Hilliard; and they parted ways with Cal Quantrill and Brendan Rodgers. Additionally, they (puzzingly) signed Kyle Farmer last night.
The Hall of Fame Ballot was also announced on Monday, and includes a few old friends: Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos González. Will either of them make the Hall, or at least the 5% threshold to keep them on the ballot next year? Could/should either of them be inducted into a Rockies Hall of Fame?
Oh, and Zac Veen was brought onto the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft.
Among all the craziness, though, here’s what the Purple Row writers had to say this week:
