Newsbreakers
December 2, 2009
Huston Street is not close to inking a contract extension with the Rockies, according to Buster Olney of ESPN.
Our View:
There is belief Colorado will try to deal Street if the two sides cannot agree on an extension prior to the July deadline. He is eligible for free agency after the 2010 campaign.
October 12, 2009
Huston Street was unable to keep the Phillies from taking the lead in a tie game when he took the mound in the ninth inning on Sunday night. The Rockies closer allowed a walk, two hits, and a sacrifice fly before recording his third out.
Our View:
Street was one of the more reliable closer's of 2009 as he only had one regular season loss. However, he was unable to navigate the top of the Phillies potent batting order in the most crucial inning of the year.
October 6, 2009
The Rockies have reportedly told Huston Street that they will discuss a new multi-year deal with him following the season, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
The source believes it would take a three-year deal in the $25MM-range to get negotiations started. He could help his cause with a solid showing in the postseason, which starts with the Phillies in the NLDS.
September 16, 2009
Huston Street (biceps tendinitis) will likely rejoin the Rockies bullpen this Sunday, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
The news comes after Street threw a successful bullpen session on Wednesday. He has been made aware that he might immediately regain the team's closing job, however, with Franklin Morales thriving in the role. Street will almost assuredly be their closer by the time the playoffs arrive, though.
September 9, 2009
Huston Street will likely still be unavailable to close through at least this weekend, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
He is still battling right biceps tendinitis. With Franklin Morales not allowing a run in five appearances in Steet's absence, the team has no need to rush him back.
September 3, 2009
Huston Street was unavailable on Wednesday due to biceps tendinitis, and will likely remain so for the rest of the week, if not longer, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
A bad break for the wild card leading Rockies. Franklin Morales and Rafael Betancourt will both be in the mix for saves while he is out.
July 6, 2009
Huston Street pitched a perfect ninth inning against Washington on Monday to preserve Colorado's 1-0 win and notch his 20th save of the season.
Our View:
Street has widdled his ERA all the way down to 2.72 after it was on the wrong side of six entering May and he's blown just one of his 21 save chances this season. The way the Rockies are winning, combined with how effective he's been, should result in Street being one of the better overall fantasy closers going forward.
June 18, 2009
After allowing hits to the first two Rays he faced on Thursday, Huston Street eventually nailed down his 15th save of the season despite allowing two earned runs. The Rockies won 4-3.
Our View:
Street has allowed three earned runs in June. He is an excellent option at closer in every format, just be cognizant of the fact that he may get traded to a team where he will not be the closer.
June 15, 2009
Huston Street has been named co-NL player of the week for the week ending June 14 according to The Sports Network.
Our View:
The coveted reliever converted all five of his save opportunities for the week while the Rockies went 7-0.
June 15, 2009
The L.A. Times reports that the Angels have talked to the Rockies about acquiring Huston Street and Brad Hawpe.
Our View:
Street has 13 saves for the Rockies this season including a recent stretch of five saves in six days. It's not certain how he would be used in connection with Brian Fuentes in the Angels bullpen, but there's no question the Angels could use another strong arm on their pitching staff. The Yankees have also been linked to Street.
June 12, 2009
FoxSports.com is reporting that the Yankees' have expressed interest in Rockies' reliever Huston Street. Street has been very successful as the Rockies' closer, but the Yankees need bullpen help and could look to trade for him before the deadline.
Our View:
With the Rockies' getting hot all of a sudden, it seems unlikely that they would be willing to trade Street this early. If they Yanks want him that bad, they may have to wait until the end of July to get him. Since the team is looking for help now, it seems more likely that they go after someone else to be their new setup man. This could be something to keep an eye on for Street owners, however, as a move to the Yankees would significantly hurt his fantasy value.
June 11, 2009
Pitching for the fourth consecutive game on Thursday, Huston Street gave up a three-run home run to Milwaukee's Ryan Braun in the ninth inning of the Rockies 5-4 victory. Only one of those runs was earned however, and he still managed to earn his 12th save of the season.
Our View:
After a terrible start in 2009, Street has been excellent, allowing only two home runs and two earned runs since May 4. He has become a solid option at closer in any format.
June 10, 2009
Huston Street struck out the side as to earn his eleventh save of the season in the Rockies 4-2 win over the Brewers on Wednesday. He did not allow a base runner in the outing.
Our View:
Street has allowed just one earned run since April 24. Don't count...that's 19 outings. He has allowed only seven hits in that span and dropped his ERA nearly six runs since then.
May 23, 2009
Huston Street picked up his sixth save of the season against Detroit on Saturday, failing to give up a run or hit with two walks and two strikeouts.
Our View:
Street has now gone 11 appearances without giving up a run and, while he does have a loss, is a perfect 6-of-6 on save chances this season.
May 15, 2009
Huston Street shut the door in the ninth for the Rockies on Friday as he struck out the side for his fifth save of the year.
Our View:
Street has established himself as the Rockies' closer, and he should be owned in all leagues at this point. He has the stuff to be a dominant closer, but until he puts it all together he is just an average closer.
May 10, 2009
Huston Street picked up his fourth save of the season in Colorado's 3-2 win over the Marlins. He allowed on hit and struck out another.
Our View:
Street has not allowed a run in his last seven appearances. He appears to have a firm grasp on the closer's job in Denver, but he has endured his fair share of struggles over the past year. As he racks up the saves, you may want to consider selling high.
April 29, 2009
The Rockies used Huston Street to close out the Padres in the ninth inning of Wednesday's 7-5 win. He struck out all three hitters he faced.
Our View:
This was Street's first save since the first week of the season. Manny Corpas has been closing games for the Rockies, but he took the loss in last night's game. Street looked sharp today and it appears he will get some more turns in the ninth inning going forward.
April 17, 2009
The Rockies have removed pitcher Huston Street from the closer's role and moved Manuel Corpas over to ninth-inning duty, the Denver Post notes. Street may be moved even lower in the order than eighth-inning work. Manager Clint Hurdle says he will use "who's the best fit at the time" as his setup man.
Our View:
Street has been awful through four outings, but it's only four appearances and he says his stuff hasn't been as off as the stats suggest. Fantasy owners in NL-only leagues shouldn't dump Huston yet, but he is no longer usable in mixed formats.
April 12, 2009
Huston Street took the loss on Sunday as he entered a tied game in the ninth inning against the Phillies. He gave up two hits, one being a two-run shot to Matt Stairs.
Our View:
If there's any good news to come from this it's that Manny Corpas blew the game in the first place as he allowed the Phillies two runs in the eighth inning. Both pitchers got some work in on Saturday when the Rockies lost, and perhaps the manager will learn his lesson. His two best relievers should be reserved for games in which they are winning.
April 2, 2009
Huston Street has reportedly edged Manny Corpas for the closer's role in Colorado, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
Street has allowed just one run over his last nine spring appearances. His velocity has been down in recent years, he's now pitching in Colorado and will have Corpas breathing down his neck, so obviously there are safer closer options out there.
March 27, 2009
Huston Street has been making a late push for the closer's role to enter the season in Colorado, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
"We are going to give it as long a look as we need to, and see what we need to see in order to make the best decision," manager Clint Hurdle said. Hurdle also stated that the decision regarding who he'll choose to close should be made within the next couple days and that he intends to stick with just one closer once the decision is made. Manny Corpas has been solid with a 1.29 ERA this spring and probably remains a bit ahead of Street. Still, Street, who struggled initially in spring, has allowed just one run in his past six innings, so he still has a shot at the job. Stay tuned.
March 16, 2009
Huston Street threw two scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks on Monday while allowing no hits, no walks, and striking out two.
Our View:
Street had been roughed up for six runs in 2.1 innings of work prior to today's outing. He is battling with Manny Corpas for the closing job in Colorado, but Corpas has had the decidedly better spring to date.
March 6, 2009
Huston Street did little Friday to state his case for being the Rockies' closer in 2009, allowing five runs on three hits in just a third of an inning.
Our View:
Granted, one bad outing by Street won't automatically cost him the closer role. But since his main competitor, Manny Corpas, didn't pitch Friday, expect management to give him a look this weekend in an effort create some distance between the two.
February 17, 2009
Huston Street is gearing up to compete for the closer's role in Colorado, according to the Rocky Mountain News. He will be battling Manny Corpas for the job, and Street said, "I think competition is great. It is about earning the opportunity. There is nothing wrong with that. The Colorado Rockies are going to be better served if we have the Manny Corpas of 2007 and if I pitch like I did my first two years. When Manny is out there, I am going to be pulling for him to be successful, and I expect Manny to be pulling for me. We are teammates. We have the same goal - winning."
Our View:
The loser in the race will serve as the setup man. Street's velocity has been slipping, which is likely part of the reason Oakland let him go. He also issued more walks than usual in 2008, and Corpas seems more likely to win the ninth-inning role.
January 19, 2009
Huston Street has inked a one-year deal with the Rockies worth $4.5 million, according to ESPN. The deal includes All-Star and performance bonuses.
Our View:
This is Street's second year of arbitration eligibility, and the right-handed reliever can't become a free agent until after the 2010 campaign. He is expected to compete with Manny Corpas for the closer's role in 2009.
