<p>Ubaldo Jimenez was expecting to get the opening-day assignment for the Rockies, and he will. The surprise was that RHP Aaron Cook was in Jim Tracy's office when the manager told Jimenez he would oppose the Brewers on April 5 in Milwaukee.</p>
<p>Tracy said Cook, who started for the Rockies on opening day in 2007 and 2009, had asked nearly two weeks earlier to be there to congratulate Jimenez when Tracy informed him of the honor. Or as Tracy put it, Cook "very unselfishly is handing the torch to him."</p> <p>Cook, 31, is a consummate teammate, and that he asked to be present when Jimenez received the news of his first opening-day start touched Jimenez, 26.</p> <p>"I have a lot of respect for him," Jimenez said, "but right now I even have more respect for what he did, that he came in with...
All morning, Rockies reliever Randy Flores took part in a drill designed to improve the dexterity and reflexes of the pitchers. Still, the exercise couldn't prepare him for the liner off the bat of Cleveland's Chris Gimenez. Before Flores even had time to flinch, the ball caught him squarely on the left forearm, leaving behind quite a bruise.
Rockies closer Huston Street will likely miss the season opener after experiencing tightness in his right shoulder. Street has been hampered by inflammation in his pitching shoulder and has yet to throw in an exhibition game, putting him behind schedule. He threw about 25 pitches Monday and said afterward that his arm "felt great" but had discomfort during his throwing session the next...
Aaron Cook's lack of control of his fastball led to his second straight ineffective start in spring training. Cook, who has won 27 games the past two seasons for the Colorado Rockies, allowed six runs and six hits in three innings and the Chicago White Sox got a 6-1 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.
Like a kid with boundless energy, the first thing Ubaldo Jimenez wants to do every morning is grab a ball and glove and go play catch. The days in between starts are wrenching for the Colorado Rockies' flamethrowing ace. And the offseasons? They would be downright dreadful if he didn't play winter ball back home in the Dominican Republic.
The Chicago Cubs figured it was going to be a long day when their bus broke down on the side of the highway heading to Hi Corbett Field. Turns out, the rest of the afternoon was rather short. Chicago's adventurous 3 1/2 -hour bus ride down from Mesa took way longer than the actual exhibition game.
Conor Jackson and Adam LaRoche homered for the Arizona Diamondbacks in an 8-7 win over a Colorado split squad Sunday. LaRoche finished the afternoon 3 for 3 to raise his average this spring to .389. Tony Abreu was 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs and is hitting .481 this spring to become the front-runner for the final roster spot.
The pact went something like this: No nasty pitches to each other. Before the game, Mariners ace Felix Hernandez promised his counterpart, Rockies top hurler Ubaldo Jimenez, he wouldn't throw anything too unhittable when Jimenez was at the plate. Jimenez readily agreed. Yet they struck each other out in Colorado's 5-4 win over the Mariners on Sunday.
Jason Hammel continued his strong string of performances in his first spring training with the Rockies, but Brewers prospect Lorenzo Cain homered and Milwaukee's split squad rallied for a 7-6 victory over Colorado on Saturday. The 27-year-old Hammel struck out three in four innings and allowed two unearned runs, and the Rockies scored four runs in the seventh, including a three-run homer by...
Chris Iannetta tried to distract his mind by reading novels. Didn't work. The Colorado Rockies catcher attempted to divert his thoughts by dabbling in drawing, sketching pictures that caught his eye in magazines. Again, didn't help. No matter what he did, Iannetta simply couldn't flip the baseball switch off.
To ensure Jason Giambi stays fresh, the Colorado Rockies have been careful with his playing time. No sense wearing out the 38-year-old in March. Giambi made his spring training debut Friday, flying out to center and taking a pitch off the forearm in the Rockies' 9-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants.
Aaron Cook was hit hard in his second spring start, allowing nine hits and nine runs, five earned, in 2 2-3 innings, and the Colorado Rockies were pounded by the Texas Rangers 16-5 on Thursday. Cook hit Ian Kinsler with a 1-2 pitch during a four-run first when he gave three hits, including a two-run homer to first baseman Chris Davis, who went 4 for 4 with 3 RBI.
First baseman Todd Helton and the Colorado Rockies agreed Thursday to a $9.9 million. two-year contract extension through the 2013 season. The first baseman is earning $16.6 million this year, and he agreed to defer $13 million of his $19.1 million salary in 2011 over a 10-year period beginning in 2014.
Although Yorvit Torrealba's son is safe, the San Diego Padres catcher still fears for the rest of his family. Nine months after his son was kidnapped by five men in Caracas, Venezuela, and later returned unharmed, Torrealba said his son and wife are now living in Miami and adjusting to their new lives.
Zack Greinke was far more pleased with his first start than with the three innings he threw for the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Nonetheless, he extended his scoreless streak this spring to six consecutive innings, allowing two hits in that stretch. Greinke, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, threw 51 pitches -- 31 for strikes -- to help the Royals...

Jimenez, the Rockies' projected opening day starter, made his first start of the spring look easy by giving up one hit with two strikeouts -- but he did walk three batters.</p><br clear="all" />
Rockies left-hander Jeff Francis is hoping his second spring start goes better than his first. Francis missed last season following shoulder surgery and was hit hard in his first spring start against San Francisco on Friday. He is scheduled to face the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. "I'm on course, I'd say.
Colorado Rockies closer Huston Street says he has been notified that federal investigators might want to talk to him about a Canadian doctor being investigated in probes involving HGH and another drug. Street says he was told by his agents that he "might be interviewed by the U.S. attorney's office regarding the case or by the commissioner's office or both." Street says he visited...
