Re: To Torrealba: So Long....

Dear Yorvit, the Mets don't want you because it turns out your arm is in worse shape than previous thought. Therefore, we Rockies fans will gladly take you back on 1 condition. You gotta improve on your hitting and improve your young pitchers. Ambiguous tasks? Yes. Do-able tasks? Yes.
Also, if you stick with the Rockies to end your career you have the opportunity to be named 'Mr. Clutch' and have the Denver-metro area love you like we love Walt Weiss and Vinny Castilla.

On an unrelated note, A-Rod won AL MVP unsurprisingly and looks to be going right back to the Yanks for a contract that is not $30 mill/yr thankfully. Boras, aka Wormtongue, has failed you (yay!) and hopefully you will go Kenny Rogers' route of dumping Boras soon here.

On another unrelated note, here's a nice article on the Rockies' 2nd base prospect, Jayson Nix, who recently helped Team USA beat Cuba to win the Baseball World Cup. My favorite line: "The last time an unheralded Rockies' prospect played for Team USA, he rocketed from anonymity to stardom. Ever heard of Matt Holliday? "
Nice.
