The fans of the Colorado Rockies are starting to feel the butterflies as spring training is upon us. The excitement is there for a few different reasons. Reason number one is that there are a number of new faces coming to town lead by the biggest acquisition of them all Miguel Cabrera. Rockies will also welcome Ryan Doumit, Ryan Theriot, and Juan Guiterrez. General Manager, Eric Myers, has fans wondering if he knows what he he doing by moving some very poplar players like Todd Helton, Jeff Baker, Carlos Ruiz, Ubaldo Jimenez, and Ian Stewart. When asked that question Myers responds by saying " I feel we have improved our bullpen and balanced out our lineup to put us in position to make a run at the postseason this year. The hardest move of them all is when we had to say goodbye to Helton. However I think we landed the future face of the franchise in Cabrera. So all in all I feel very good about the moves that where done this offseason."
Only time will tell if Myers is either going to be called a rookie genius or a rookie idiot and trust me the fans of Colorado will let him know what one he ends up being.
