Newsbreakers
November 18, 2009
SI.com is reporting that Rockies' manager Jim Tracy has been named the NL Manager of the Year. Tracy is only the second man to win the award after taking over his team in the middle of the season.
Our View:
The Rockies were dead in the water when Tracy took over, and he lit a fire under his players and led them to a Wild Card berth. He received all but two of the first place votes.
October 7, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki drove in the only run the Rockies could muster off of Cliff Lee in a 5-1 loss to the Phillies in the NLDS opener.
Our View:
Tulo was 2-for-4 with the RBI double and was the only Rockie who seemed to figure out Lee. He'll have another matchup against a lefty tomorrow with Cole Hamels on the mound, and the Rockies will need similar results from their shortstop and a big increase in production from their other top bats if they're going to escape Philadelphia with a split.
October 1, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki was at the center of it all again on Thursday. The dazzling young shortstop went 3-for-3 with an RBI and his 20th stolen base, as the Rockies clinched a playoff berth via a 9-2 smackdown of the Brewers.
Our View:
Tulo is now just one percentage point away from posting his first .300 season. His 31 home runs and 20 steals are already career highs.
September 27, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in the Rockies 4-3 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Our View:
Tulo's monster second half continues and looks like he'll ride his hot streak into the postseason. Since the All Star break he's hitting .333 with 14 homers and 50 RBI.
September 25, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-4 with a run scored in tonight's 2-1 win over the Cardinals at Coors Field. Both of his knocks were singles.
Our View:
Tulowitzki extended his hitting streak to nine games, and scored his team-leading 94th run.
September 24, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki pounded a three-run homer in the first inning on Thursday, but it wasn't enough as Rockies fell to the Padres 5-4. Tulo was 2-for-5 with a run scored and three RBI in the game.
Our View:
Tulo continues to stay piping hot, and he continues to hit for power. He was NL player of the week last week, and he has been an outstanding fantasy play as of late.
September 21, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki has been named the NL Player of the Week, according to MLB.com. He earned the weekly honor by hitting .391 (9-for-23) with four homers and eight runs scored.
Our View:
Tulowitzki launched a homer in four straight games from Tuesday-Saturday, becoming the first shortstop to accomplish that feat since Miguel Tejada did it back in 2005 with Baltimore.
September 17, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki carried the Rockies again on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a home run and an RBI, as Colorado outlasted the Giants 4-3 in San Francisco.
Our View:
That's just Tulo being Tulo. In 136 games this season, he is now batting .285 with 78 RBI and a career-high 27 home runs.
September 13, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-2 with two walks in the Rockies 7-3 loss to the Padres on Sunday.
Our View:
Tulo has cooled considerable in September, which is bad news for the Rockies. He's hit just one home run and driven in only three teammates this month. His bat will have to heat up if the Rox want to retain control of the Wild Card spot.
September 13, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-4 with his 25th home run on Saturday night, but the Rockies finally had their eight-game winning streak snapped, losing 3-2 in ten innings in San Diego.
Our View:
With his home run, Tulo officially surpassed his previous career-high of 24 bombs set in 2007.
September 10, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki is out of the Rockies' lineup for the third straight game on Wednesday, according to ESPN.com. Tulo is still dealing with a strained lower back.
Our View:
Tulo will be available to pinch-hit tonight, but he isn't ready to play the field just yet. The team is heading out on a road trip after today's game, so expect him back either this weekend or early next week.
September 9, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki's strained lower back is improving, but he is still out of the Rockies' lineup on Wednesday against the Reds, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
Unless his recovery pace really amps up in the next day or two, he likely won't be back in the lineup until next Monday when the team starts a crucial three-game series with San Francisco.
September 7, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki strained his lower back during Monday's battle with the Reds, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
Omar Quintanilla replaced him at shortstop late in the game, and could remain in the lineup if Tulowitzki needs to miss time.
September 2, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in the Rockies 5-2 win over the Mets on Wednesday.
Our View:
The slugging shortstop has certainly regained his form this season. He's now hitting .286 with 24 homers and 74 RBI has been red hot down the stretch, hitting .346 in August.
August 30, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki did everything he could to keep the Rockies in the top spot for the NL Wild Card on Sunday. He went 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBI, but the Rockies couldn't get it done and fell to the Giants 9-5.
Our View:
Tulo's homer was his 24th of the season, matching his career high he set as a rookie. That total leads all true shortstops in major league baseball.
August 27, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 3-for-4 to raise his average to a season-high .283 on Thursday (if you don't count the first five games of the season), but couldn't help the Rockies past the Dodgers, as Colorado lost 3-2 at home.
Our View:
Batting .340 with seven home runs and 33 RBI since the All-Star break, Tulo has been one of the top hitters in baseball.
August 26, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki stayed hot on Wednesday, going 2-for-4, but it wasn't nearly enough as the Rockies lost 6-1 to the Dodgers at home.
Our View:
Tulo is now batting .330 in August to go along with four home runs and 19 RBI.
August 25, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki produced when it mattered most on Tuesday night as he delievered a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the tenth to beat the Dodgers 5-4. Tulowitzki went 2-for-5 in the game with a double and two RBI.
Our View:
If last night's win over the Giants in extras was the biggest win of the season for the Rox, tonight was undoubtedly second. Colorado is the hottest team in baseball right now, and Tulo is one of the main reasons for that. After a disappointing 2008, Tulo has rebounded to become one of the better fantasy shortstops in the game this season.
August 21, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki was held out of Friday's lineup with the stomach flu, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
The Rockies think he has a 24-hour stomach bug and he shouldn't be out long. He did yack before Friday's game though and manager Jim Tracy sent him home early, so as not to infect anyone else on the team. He will be monitored over the weekend and once he's healthy and hydrated, he'll be back in the lineup.
August 13, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki homered for the third time in four games on Thursday, helping the Rox and Jason Marquis stifle the Pirates 10-1 in Denver.
Our View:
Tulo now has 23 bombs on the season and is batting a healthy .277. Is he too young to win the comeback player of the year award?
August 12, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki helped pace the Rockies again on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored as Colorado beat Pittsburgh 8-0 at home.
Our View:
Tulo's renaissance is great news for Rockie fans and fantasy players alike. Don't expect to be able to get him much lower than the fourth or fifth round of your draft next season.
August 11, 2009
One night after hitting for the cycle, Troy Tulowitzki hit his 22nd home run, but it wasn't enough as the Rockies lost 7-3 to the Pirates at home.
Our View:
Tulo is now just two off his career high of 24 from 2007. He has worked hard to re-establish himself as one of the NL's top shortstops, and should be treated as such in next year's drafts.
August 10, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki was in the zone in tonight's 11-5 win over the Cubs at Coors Field, as he went 5-for-5 with seven RBI and two runs scored. He hit two singles, a double, a triple and a two-run homer off Tom Gorzelanny.
Our View:
Tulowitzki hit for the cycle for the first time this season, and collected his team-leading 21st homer. He paces Colorado with 66 runs scored as well, and should remain a solid option among fantasy shortstops.
August 2, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-5 and hit his 20th home run of the season in Colorado's 6-4, 11-inning win over the Reds on Sunday.
Our View:
Tulo slumped to start the season, but has turned it on since June 1st. He hit seven homers in June, seven in July and now has one just two days into August. He's beginning to look like the player everyone though he would be when he took the league by storm as a rookie. He leads all shortstops in home runs.
July 27, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-2 with a single and a two-run homer off Oliver Perez in tonight's 7-3 loss at New York.
Our View:
Tulowitzki crushed his seventh homer this month, and his 19th of 2009. Seven were hit away from launching pad Coors Field.
July 26, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki knocked in a run and reached base three times on Sunday, as the Rockies won a crucial game against the Giants, 4-2.
Our View:
While still batting just .256, Tulo is all the way back from an ugly 2008 season, and should keep hitting down the stretch.
July 25, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 3-for-4 with a homer and five RBI in the Rockies' 8-2 win over the Giants on Saturday.
Our View:
This was easily Tulo's biggest offensive outburst of the season. It gave him six homers and 14 RBI for the month, but he's still hitting under .250 for July. The power has been there all season (18 homers), but he's hit .242 or lower in every month this season but June (.305). It appears to be feast or famine with him.
July 21, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki blasted his 17th home run of the season on Tuesday, but it came in a losing effort, as the Rockies lost 6-5 to the Diamondbacks at home.
Our View:
Despite his 17 home runs, Tulo has just 40 RBI on the season. It's an encouraging sign that he has hit so consistently for power this season, though, after his prodigious drought in 2008.
July 11, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 1-for-3 with a solo homer off Jair Jurrjens in tonight's 4-3 loss to the Braves at Coors Field.
Our View:
Tulowitzki clubbed his third homer of July, and his 15th of the season. He only trails Ian Stewart (16) for the team lead in homers, and Tulowitzki should remain a nice source for power in fantasy leagues.
July 8, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 3-for4 with a home run and two RBIs on Wednesday as the Rockies routed the Nationals 10-4 in Devner.
Our View:
After struggling through many slumps and injuries since the beginning of 2008, Tulo appears to finally be back. He has raised his average from .221 on June 1 to .253, and homered nine times in that span. He should be in your starting lineup in every format.
July 3, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the Rockies' 5-0 win over Arizona on Friday night.
Our View:
He's not having the bounce-back campaign that many pundits predicted, but he's not as bad as he was last season. His .253-12-32 linie could be much worse.
June 24, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki continued his climb back to fantasy relevance on Tuesday, even as the Rockies lost, going 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBIs.
Our View:
Tulowitzki is now batting .266 after entering June at .221 and appears to finally be over his prolonged sophomore slump. He's worth owning if not already on a team in your league.
June 17, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki hit a three-run shot off of David Price in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay. It was his only hit in four at bats and he also struck out twice.
Our View:
Troy Trevor Tulowitzki is heating up. He is hitting .300 this month and has four home runs in 40 at bats. He has raised his average an impressive 35 points in the last 10 days.
June 12, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 1-for-2 with a solo homer in Friday's 6-4 win over the Mariners at Coors Field. He drew two walks and scored three runs, and also stole a base.
Our View:
He extended his hitting streak to six games, with three homers over the span. Keep him active in fantasy lineups while he is swinging a hot stick.
June 6, 2009
The Denver Post is reporting that Troy Tulowitzki will not be in the Rockies' lineup Saturday night in St. Louis. Tulowitzki is expected to play Sunday for the Rockies against the Cardinals.
Our View:
Tulo hit without any problem yesterday, but manager Jim Tracy decided to keep him out tonight. Expect him to return to the lineup tomorrow, and he should be fine when he does return. He will be replaced by Clint Barmes at short tonight.
June 2, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki left Tuesday's game against Houston in the fourth inning with a sore left hand, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Omar Quintanilla replaced him in the field. Tulowitzki was taken to a hospital for precautionary X-rays.
May 20, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki will ride the pine for tonight's game at Atlanta, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
He has five hits over his last 19 at-bats, and irked skipper Clint Hurdle by swinging at the first pitch and hitting into a double-play in Tuesday's game. Omar Quintanilla will replace him at shortstop.
May 19, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki drove in the only run of the game for the Rockies in their 8-1 loss to the Braves on Tuesday. However, he did not record a hit in the contest.
Our View:
Tulo has been bad once again this season, after many predicted a bounce back season. He's hitting just .244 with five homers and 13 RBI. He'll need to make giant strides to save his season if he doesn't pick it up soon.
May 14, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki is out of Thursday's lineup against the Astros after being struck on the elbow by a pitch yesterday, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Tulowitzki expects to return to the diamond Friday against the Pirates at PNC Park.
May 12, 2009
The Denver Post is reporting that Troy Tulowitzki is expected to return to the Rockies' lineup Tuesday after missing Monday's game with tightness in his quad.
Our View:
Tulo said he is feeling much better, and he thinks he is good to go for tonight. He has had a slow start to the season, but he has all the tools to be an effective middle infield fantasy option if he stays healthy.
May 11, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki strained his left quadriceps on Sunday and has chosen rest over treatment as a method of recovery, according to MLB.com. It won't be known until tomorrow if he'll be forced to miss time, nor is it known how much time he'd be out if he does indeed sit.
Our View:
Tulowitzki suffered the injury in the sixth inning on Sunday but was able to stay in the game before being removed in the ninth, so it doesn't appear to be too serious of an issue, although it was his left quadriceps that kept the shortstop out of 47 games last season. We'll keep you up to date on Tulowitzki's status for Tuesday, but for now, it may be best to find a day-to-day replacement if your league allows daily lineup changes.
May 10, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, an RBI, and a run scored as the Rockies beat the Marlins 3-2 on Sunday.
Our View:
Tulo has a pair of hits in each of his last three games. He has collected two home runs and four RBI over that span and it appears that he should be a productive member of your lineups going forward.
May 9, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki was 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI on Friday as the Rockies fell to the Marlins 8-3.
Our View:
Tulo now has four dingers this season, but is struggling with a .211 average. He's also only driven ten runs and fantasy owners are waiting for him to return to his Rookie of the Year form.
April 29, 2009
Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will be back in the lineup on Wednesday after not starting the previous two games, the Denver Post confirms.
Our View:
The Rockies were giving Tulo a little chance to clear his head and work in his swing. He did get two at-bats on Tuesday night, so the break wasn't very long.
April 11, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki hit his third homer of the season in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Phillies. It was a two-run shot and his only hit in two at-bats.
Our View:
The Rockies' shortstop, a disappointment a year ago, is looking for a return to form in 2009. He's off to a good start, hitting three homers with five RBI and a .333 average in just five games.
April 8, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki hit his second home run of the season Tuesday night in Colorado's 3-0 win over Arizona.
Our View:
Though it's only been two games, Tulowitzki's stroke at the plate indicates he may be prepared to repeat his '07 numbers (.291/.359/.479). That is not to say he'll hit 24 homers again, but his health this season will go a long way in determining whether we'll see him be the player we all know he can be.
April 6, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki hit his first home run of the season as the Rockies lost their opener 9-8 in Arizona on Monday. The solo shot was his only hit in four at-bats as the shortstop also collected his first strikeout.
Our View:
Tulowitzki managed just eight home runs as he struggled through last season, so this blast was a welcome sight. He was among the best fantasy options at his position two seasons ago, and his numbers figure to resemble something closer to those numbers rather than the dropoff he experienced last season.
March 24, 2009
Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki went 2-for-5 with a double and a homer in a minor league game on Tuesday. He previously missed two games due to a sore lower back, the Denver Post notes.
Our View:
The injury wasn't thought to be serious, but it's good to see Tulo back in action. We hope he fares as well against major league pitching this season.
March 22, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki sat out Sunday's game with a sore back, but said he could have certainly played through it if it were a regular season game, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
It appears that this is not any thing to get overly worried about. Tulowitzki is hitting just .250 this spring with one home run in 36 at-bats.
March 17, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki was 2-for-4 Tuesday and hit his first home run of the spring. He also drove in three on the day.
Our View:
Tulowitzki's numbers are not incredible this spring, but patience is a virtue and he is a prime candidate for a breakout year. Sophomore slumps are common in this game and Tulo showed signs of breaking out of it with a hot September last year. And don't forget where he plays most of his games.
March 15, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki was 2-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored, and his third double of the spring in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Dodgers.
Our View:
It's easy to get caught up in the dismal numbers from Tulo's 2008 season, but take a look at September when he went .330/.392/.534. If that made you think of 2007 Rookie of the Year Tulo than you are not alone. We'll take the glass half-full approach with the 24-year-old shortstop even if he is only hitting .241 this spring.
February 28, 2009
Troy Tulowitzki had a rough day for the Rockies on Saturday, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout.
Our View:
Tulowitzki certainly fell off a bit for the Rockies in 2008 after posting 24 homers and 99 RBI in 2007 as a rookie. This was primarily due to a torn left quad, which he appears to be fully recovered from.
