Newsbreakers
October 9, 2009
The Denver Post is reporting that Rockies' starter Jorge De La Rosa is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday to test out his injured groin. De La Rosa is hoping to be available for the NLCS if the Rockies can advance.
Our View:
We should know more about De La Rosa's status after the bullpen session tomorrow, but he could be a very nice boost to the rotation if the Rockies can manage to upset the Phils and advance. This will mean nothing unless the Rockies win the series, however.
October 6, 2009
The Philadelphia Inquirer's David Murphy reports that Jorge De La Rosa will be left off the Rockies' division series roster as he deals with a groin injury.
Our View:
Devastating news for the Rockies, considering he was one of the best pitchers in baseball after June 1, going 16-2 in 20 starts. Should the Rockies advance to the NLCS, he could be added to the roster then.
October 5, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa (groin) will throw a bullpen session on Tuesday which will determine if he will be able to make a start in the NLDS, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
He suffered the injruy on Saturday night. If the groin is not a problem on Tuesday, he will start game three against the Phillies. If it is, however, he will likely be left off the Rockies' NLDS roster. For what it's worth, he believes he will be able to go. In 33 games (32 starts) this season, De La Rosa went 16-9 with a 4.38 ERA and 193 strikeouts. He went an amazing 16-2 after June 1.
September 27, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa allowed four hits, three walks and hit two batters in just five innings of work on Sunday, but used the strikeout to get himself out of jams in a 4-3 win over the Cardinals. His eight Ks helped him improved to 16-9 after allowing three runs in just five innings of work.
Our View:
De La Rosa was virtually untouchable in his first four September starts, but has been knocked around in his last three allowing nine runs in his previous 7.1 innings. He may be hitting a wall, as he's more than 50 innings over his previous career high.
September 22, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa was pummeled to the tune of six runs on six hits and three walks over just 2.1 innings on Tuesday. He avoided the loss only because the Rockies offense took over and won a circus game 11-10 over the Padres.
Our View:
De La Rosa had been brilliant until Tuesday, allowing just three total runs in the month of September. The meltdown against the Padres jumped his ERA from 4.17 to 4.42.
September 17, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa dominated the Giants in a critical game in the National League wild card race on Wednesday night. The hard-throwing lefty struck out nine, while allowing just three hits, in eight shutout innings of work, as Colorado won 4-3 in San Francisco.
Our View:
De La Rosa now has an incredible 15 wins since June 1st, and has been one of the best pitchers in baseball since the All-Star break, going 9-2 with a 2.88 ERA in 12 starts.
September 6, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa wasn't overly sharp on Sunday, walking six batters in just five innings, but got seven early runs of support to cruise to his 14th win of the season in the Rockies' 13-5 dismantling of the Diamondbacks.
Our View:
De La Rosa's 14 wins are despite a 4.51 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. Don't overvalue him in next year's drafts.
September 1, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa held the Mets to two runs (one earned) over six innings on four hits and three walks Tuesday. He struck out six and improved to 13-9 on the season with an 8-3 win.
Our View:
After starting the season 0-6, De La Rosa has figured it out. Since June first he is 13-3 and has racked up 11 quality starts.
August 27, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa struck out seven Dodgers in seven innings on Thursday, but his three runs allowed proved to be the difference, as Colorado lost 3-2 at home.
Our View:
De La Rosa has been one of the better pitchers in the National League since the All-Star break, going 6-2 with 3.80 ERA and 53 strikeouts in eight starts.
August 22, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa got hammered by the Giants on Saturday, but his offense bailed him out as the Rockies won a shootout by the score of 14-11. De La Rosa went six innings and allowed six runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out five.
Our View:
There wasn't much pitching in this game, but De La Rosa gets the win despite struggling badly against a mediocre Giants' lineup. He has 12 wins on the season, and pitching for the hot Rockies should allow him to add to that total as the year goes on.
August 16, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa allowed just one unearned run in 5.2 innings on Sunday. He allowed seven hits, walked three and struck out nine en route to his 11th victory.
Our View:
De La Rosa has now struck out 20 batters over his last 13.1 innings and is a great source of Ks in fantasy leagues. He has looked very good in his last two starts and should be employed in all formats right now.
August 10, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa only allowed one earned run on seven hits over 7.2 innings in Monday's 11-5 win over the Cubs at Coors Field. He had four walks and racked up 11 strikeouts.
Our View:
He earned his fourth win over his last five starts, and has 10 for the season, tying his career high. He also reached double digits in strikeouts for the third time this season, and should remain active in fantasy leagues.
August 5, 2009
After a string of eight largely succesful starts, the erratic Jorge De La Rosa finally got bombed Wednesday night, allowing seven runs in five innings, as the Rockies lost 7-0 in Philadelphia.
Our View:
Realistically, De La Rosa could only avoid trouble for so long. Although his ERA is now back at 5.00, he's still a pretty good option in most formats, however, as getting roughed up has become the exception - and not the rule it once was - for him.
July 30, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa allowed two earned runs on three hits over 6.1 innings in Thursday's 4-2 win at New York. He had three walks and five strikeouts.
Our View:
De La Rosa has earned a win in three straight starts, and is 5-0 in July. Keep him active in fantasy leagues while hot.
July 25, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa shut down the Giants for 7.1 innings on Saturday. He allowed just two runs on seven hits, didn't walk a man and struck out seven. He earned his eighth win as the Rockies' prevailed 8-2.
Our View:
De La Rosa has been brilliant in July after struggling through all of May and June. He has complied a 2.43 ERA and 25 strikeouts in his last 29.2 innings and is 4-0 over that stretch.
July 20, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa was in command from the hill in Monday's 10-6 win over Arizona at Coors Field, as he only issued one earned run on four hits over seven innings. He had one walk and fired six strikeouts.
Our View:
De La Rosa evened his record to 7-7, and trimmed his ERA to 4.95. He is 5-0 over his last six starts, and is worth penciling into fantasy lineups for his next turn in the Rockies' rotation.
July 8, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa won his fourth straight start on Wednesday, as the Rockies blew out the Nationals 10-4 at Coors Field.
Our View:
De La Rosa has been in a groove of late, but is always a candidate to pitch a stinker. He's not a terrible player to own in most formats, just be leery of bad matchups (particularly right-handed heavy teams), and don't count on him to be an integral part of your pitching staff.
July 3, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa pitched a gem on Friday night. The Rockies' hurler tossed eight shutout innings, allowing just four hits and four walks and struck out six as the Rockies topped the Diamondbacks 5-0.
Our View:
De La Rosa has always had nasty stuff, but had trouble harnessing it and walked too many batters. He's been especially good in his last two starts, but will need to show some consistency before fantasy owners start jumping on the bandwagon.
June 24, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa will likely be moved to the bullpen if the surging Rockies acquire a starting pitcher, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
De La Rosa has a 5.85 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 75.1 innings in 2009, and the Rockies are just 5-9 when he pitches. A move to the bullpen could serve both well.
June 21, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa gave up four earned runs on seven hits over 5.2 innings in Sunday's close 5-4 win over the Pirates at Coors Field. He issued three walks with six strikeouts.
Our View:
De La Rosa did not pitch well, but the Rockies hit well enough for him to collect a win. He is now 3-1 over four starts in June, despite a poor 6.97 ERA.
June 16, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa got lit up by the Rays on Tuesday night after two straight excellent starts against Milwaukee and St. Louis. He gave up seven earned runs in just 2.1 innings as the Rockies 11-game winning streak came to an end.
Our View:
Now that's the Jorge we know and love. In case he had lulled you into a sense of complacency during his last two starts, make no mistake, he is not a viable fantasy option.
June 10, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa struck out eight hitters in six innings as the Rockies defeated the Brewers 4-2 on Wednesday. He did walk four batters and gave up four hits, but he only allowed two runners to cross the plate.
Our View:
Both of De La Rosa's wins this season have come in his last two outings. Yes, he has a 5.08 ERA and 1.41 WHIP, but his 72 whiffs in 67.1 innings of work is as an impressive rate as any starter going.
June 5, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa allowed three earned runs on seven hits over 6.2 innings in Friday's 11-4 win at St. Louis. He had two walks and racked up seven strikeouts. He gave up two homers.
Our View:
It was not a solid outing for De La Rosa, but the Rockies provided enough offensive support for him to claim a win. Thar marks his first win over 11 starts.
May 31, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa fell to 0-6 against San Diego on Sunday, giving up four runs off six hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings.
Our View:
De La Rosa has always shown flashes of nice potential but is never able to maintain his stuff for more than a few consecutive outings. This year has been no different, and he simply cannot be trusted.
May 21, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa got lit up by the Braves on Wednesday as the Rockies fell to the Braves 12-4. De La Rosa went 3.2 innings and allowed seven runs on five hits while walking five and striking out one.
Our View:
De La Rosa had been absolutely on fire in his last few starts, but he was bad tonight. The walk bug that had plagued him for most of his career came back and bit him tonight. It is tough to get a read on this guy, but his potential is very high because of his ability to strike hitters out. He will have some bad starts like this, but the question is how many will he have compared to great starts.
May 15, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa dominated again on Friday, but he still couldn't pick up his first win of the season. The Rockies got three runs in the ninth to get the win, and De La Rosa went seven innings and allowed one run on seven hits while striking out ten and not walking a batter.
Our View:
If this guy is still available in your league, get him now. Walks have been his downfall in the past, but in his last two outings he has a 22-to-1 K/BB ratio. His time may be now, but if he starts to get wild again watch out.
May 9, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa was dominant on Saturday, but he still didn't earn his first win. He allowed just two runs on four hits and a walk over eight innings and struck out 12, but look the loss as the Marlins won out 3-1.
Our View:
De La Rosa just opened some fantasy eyes. If he can keep his command in check, he can be very effective as evidenced by today's one walk, 12-K performance. He has filthy stuff and looks to finally be putting it together. He could be a sneaky waiver pick up as he's likely still available.
April 29, 2009
Pitcher Jorge De La Rosa has a blister on his middle finger, but he informs the Denver Post that it will not be an issue moving forward.
Our View:
We hope he is right about this. De La Rosa has been pretty sharp over the last three starts and is starting to build momentum as a NL-only fantasy option.
April 29, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa pitched well on Tuesday, but didn't factor in the decision as the Rockies lost a late lead and fell to the Padres 4-3. De La Rosa allowed just two runs over six innings and struck out six.
Our View:
De La Rosa allowed just five batters to reach in this game, which was a monster improvement over his 1.62 WHIP in his first three starts. If he can control his bouts of wildness, he has the stuff to be a very good pitcher.
April 22, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa notched his second straight quality start but he took the loss against Dan Haren and the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. He scattered six hits and four walks, while striking out four hitters.
Our View:
After a terrible initial start, De La Rosa has been able to keep base runners from crossing the plate. However, he has walked eight batters in his last 12 innings pitched. His control figures to be an issue all season long, which will lead to inconsistency, which will lead to frustration for his fantasy owners.
April 18, 2009
Pitcher Jorge De La Rosa tossed 5.1 shutout innings against the Dodgers on Friday night, but the Rockies relievers blew his lead. The southpaw allowed five hits, walked four, and struck out five.
Our View:
It's the same old story with De La Rosa. He has good stuff, but that mixture of four walks tells us that he once again had some control issues. We like the strikeouts, but Jorge can't be trusted in any fantasy format.
March 31, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa threw 5.1 innings without allowing an earned run on Tuesday and struck out an eye-popping nine batters. He allowed seven hits and a walk, but received the win.
Our View:
Can anyone figure out the fantasy puzzle that is Jorge De La Rosa? He was brilliant on Tuesday, but his spring ERA is still a shade under 7.00. If he can figure out how to harness his stuff on a consistent basis he'll be fantasy gold. Until then proceed with caution.
March 26, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa allowed five runs on six hits and a walk over five innings on Thursday. He struck out five, but received the loss.
Our View:
This is De La Rosa's second bad start in a row and he continues to be an enigma. His superb K-rate can't be overlooked, but neither can last year's 4.92 ERA. Or this spring's 9.42.
March 21, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa got knocked around a bit on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits over four innings. He struck out five on the day.
Our View:
De La Rose will have to be better than this if he's going to emerge as a fantasy player. His k-rate is fantastic, but when hitters make contact he allows a lot of crooked numbers. He needs to figure out a way to harness his stuff, especially since he'll pitch half his games in Colorado.
March 15, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa threw three shutout innings against the Dodgers in his second start of the spring on Sunday. He allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out two.
Our View:
In his first 2.1 innings of the spring, he had allowed seven runs, so this performance was needed in order to keep his name in the mix for the fifth starter's job. The 28-year-old has some good stuff, but nobody's been able to harness it, especially himself. If he could ever find some consistency from one outing to the next, who could develop into a fantasy factor. There aren't too mnay starter's running around sporting an 8.86 K/9 ratio.
March 10, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa endured a suspect outing Tuesday against the A's, allowing five runs on three walks and four hits in just one-third of an inning.
Our View:
With Jeff Francis now out for the entire season, the Rockies desperately need De La Rosa to step up and assert himself as a front-of-the-rotation pitcher. He did little Tuesday to quell concerns about the staff's overall lack of leadership.
February 17, 2009
Jorge De La Rosa has decided not to represent Mexico in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
He noted that he needs to stay in camp and will get more work done there. He would move from the fifth to the fourth spot in the Rockies' rotation if Jeff Francis needs to undergo shoulder surgery.
January 19, 2009
According to the Denver Post, the Colorado Rockies have avoided arbitration with Jorge De La Rosa by signing the lefty starter to a one-year, $2 million deal.
Our View:
De La Rosa, who figures prominently in the Rockies' rotation in 2009, can make up to $100,000 in incentives for number of innings pitched.
