    MEDIA CLIPS – Nov. 28, 2018 Desmond eyes more production in 2019 Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Nov. 27th, 2018 DENVER -- Ian Desmond spent the 2018 season hanging onto the number that mattered -- the one in the Rockies' win column. Many of the other numbers weren't kind to him. After a difficult and injury-filled 2017 season, which began his five-year contract worth $70 million, Desmond was healthy enough for 160 games in '18. But he batted .236 and wasn't treated kindly by the Wins Above Replacement stat -- minus- 0.7, per FanGraphs, and minus-0.6, per Baseball-Reference. As a comparison, Desmond averaged 2.2 and 2.1 WAR, respectively, over his seven full seasons before signing with Colorado. But with consistent production absent, Desmond at times fulfilled the Rockies' contention that he is a winning player. His 22 home runs, 20 stolen bases, 82 runs and 88 RBIs in 2018 are stats many players would love, and the Rockies will tell you he had a knack for the right, heady play during the team's second-half run. Hey, it all made him one of baseball's most interesting figures on Twitter; many games began with vitriolic reaction to him being in the lineup, and more than a handful ended with an apology after a late home run. Often fans familiar with his community involvement and interaction jumped to his defense. "The one thing I can say, I feel like no matter what the situation was, no matter what the numbers said, I feel like I came out and tried to do something to help the team win," Desmond said while clearing out of Coors Field after the Rockies were eliminated from the National League Division Series by the Brewers.

    MEDIA CLIPS – January 17, 2017 Marquez sets sights on permanent rotation role Young righty uses self-maintained database of outings to continue improving By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | January 16, 2017 DENVER -- Rockies right-hander German Marquez's cellphone tells the story, in words and motion pictures, of a rapid climb that he hopes lands him in the big leagues for good when the 2017 season starts. Two seasons ago, while still within the Rays' organization, Marquez would type notes from each start into his phone, and at times augment the entries with video clips. He continued last year, after he joined the Rockies in a four-player trade. Marquez provided numerous highlights -- a standout season at Double-A Hartford (9-6, 2.85 ERA, 126 strikeouts in 135 2/3 innings) that earned him Eastern League Pitcher of the Year honors, five solid starts at Triple-A Albuquerque and a promising Major League debut -- 1-1, 5.23 ERA in six games (three starts). "Every outing I had, I kind of jot down notes about the good things and bad things that I did so I can learn from it and kind of utilize that moving forward," Marquez said in Spanish through his agent, Daniel Szew. "At the end of the season, I check everything, but I also study video of other pitchers that remind me of myself to see how they attack hitters and try to learn from them as well." Now Marquez, who turns 22 on Feb. 22, hopes to have a cellphone full of Major League highlights in 2017.

    MEDIA CLIPS – Dec. 22, 2018 Rockies, Daniel Murphy agree to 2-year deal By Thomas Harding MLB.com @harding_at_mlb Dec. 21st, 2018 DENVER -- Seeking a big-game-tested hitter, the Rockies reached agreement on a two-year, $24 million contract with lefty-swinging veteran Daniel Murphy on Thursday, the club confirmed on Friday. Murphy, who will be 34 on April 1, has spent the majority of his career at second base, but the Rockies are planning to play him at first base. It means Ian Desmond, who has played primarily at first in the first two seasons of his five-year, $70 million contract, will move to the outfield -- most likely center, with Charlie Blackmon moving to left and David Dahl playing right. Left-handed-hitting Ryan McMahon, who played primarily first base in his rookie season, is expected to move to second, where the Rockies also have Garrett Hampson. While the plan is to play Murphy at first and allow the younger players to handle second, there could be some occasional games at second for Murphy, with Desmond moving back to first. The Rockies have made the postseason for two straight seasons (for the first time in their 26-season history) but offensive struggles led them to seek help at first base. The Rockies considered trading with the Blue Jays for first baseman Justin Smoak, but decided to go with Murphy -- a three-time All-Star (2014, '16 and '17) and the 2015 National League Championship Series MVP Award winner while with the Mets. Murphy emerged as a Rockies candidate during last week's Winter Meetings after attempts to obtain Carlos Santana and Edwin Encarnacion never came to fruition.

    MEDIA CLIPS – October 10, 2016 Rockies expected to shake up coaching staff By Thomas Harding / MLB.com | @harding_at_mlb | October 8th, 2016 DENVER -- The Rockies are expected to retain third-base coach Stu Cole and pitching coaches Steve Foster and Darren Holmes, and part ways with the rest of the staff that worked under former manager Walt Weiss, a Major League source said Saturday. The staff shakeup was first reported by USA Today via Twitter. The club did not immediately respond to requests for confirmation, and has not made an announcement. Bench coach Tom Runnells, hitting coach Blake Doyle, catching/defensive positioning coach Rene Lachemann and first-base coach Eric Young were not retained, the source said. Weiss' three-year contract expired at the end of 2016, and he announced Monday that he would not pursue a new deal. General manager Jeff Bridich concurred, and both cited a difficult working relationship as the reason. The moves appeared to further put Bridich's stamp on the club's coaching and increase the break from Weiss' tenure. Foster and Holmes were hired after Bridich assumed GM duties following the '14 season. Cole has been with the Rockies organization in the Minors and Majors since 1995; before becoming third-base coach four seasons ago, he managed in Triple-A from 2009-12. Bridich was the Rockies' player development director from December 2011 to October 2014, when he was promoted. 1 Runnells had been on the Major League staff since being promoted from Triple-A manager to bench coach in '09, when Jim Tracy replaced Clint Hurdle as manager.

    MEDIA CLIPS – Nov. 5, 2018 Arenado, LeMahieu repeat as GG winners Third baseman earns sixth in a row; second baseman makes it three in his career Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Nov. 4th, 2018 DENVER -- Make that a golden half-dozen for Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado, and three for second baseman DJ LeMahieu. The winners of the Rawlings Gold Glove Awards were announced Sunday night on ESPN, and Arenado ran his record- setting streak to six in as many seasons in the Majors. It's the longest run for a player at his position to start his career since the award was instituted in 1957. Arenado also surpassed Larry Walker for most Gold Glove Awards in club history. LeMahieu, the only Rockies second baseman to win the award, took it in 2014 before winning it the last two seasons. The Rockies, who won the National League Wild Card and were swept in three games by the Brewers in the NL Division Series, had multiple Gold Glove winners for the second straight year and the seventh time in their 26-season history. The Gold Glove Awards are determined by a system based 75 percent on votes by managers and coaches and 25 percent on defensive metrics developed by the Society for American Baseball Research. "I love fielding and I love working on it," Arenado said. "I thank God for this award. There are a lot of really good third basemen so it feels good, never gets old. I thank Stu Cole [Rockies third-base coach and infield instructor] and the coaches for always getting me ready, and my people in offseason working with me -- the University of California, Irvine baseball coaches." 1 Arenado prided himself on staying on the field and finished with 156 games played, including 152 defensively.

    MEDIA CLIPS – Oct. 24, 2018 Nevin looks to sustain AFL success, health Nevin on Fall League competition Jim Callis | MLB.com | Oct. 22nd, 2018 The Arizona Fall League offers a chance for players who were injured during the season to accumulate extra at- bats or innings on the field. Unfortunately for Tyler Nevin, that's an opportunity that he has needed to take advantage of more often than he would like. A Rockies supplemental first-round Draft pick out of Poway, Calif., in 2015, Nevin has missed time during each of his first three full pro seasons. Severe hamstring issues limited the corner infielder to just one game in 2016, a wrist injury knocked him out for two months in 2017 and he spent two stints on the disabled list this summer with a quadriceps strain.

I've developed a good routine with my trainers this year and I'm going to continue it through the rest of my career.

    MEDIA CLIPS – Nov. 7, 2018 Bridich praises Black's influence on Rockies Skipper named finalist for 2018 NL Manager of Year Award Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Nov. 6th, 2018 DENVER -- Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said Tuesday manager Bud Black was the right guy at the right time for a team that had struggled with the pitching puzzle throughout its existence. Bridich, during the General Managers Meetings in Carlsbad, Calif., praised Black, who was named one of three finalists for the National League Manager of the Year Award after leading the Rockies to an unprecedented second straight postseason appearance in his two years in charge. The Rockies had devoted many of their Drafts and trades to building young starting-pitching depth. Black, who pitched 15 seasons in the Majors, replaced Walt Weiss after the 2016 season, and has reached the postseason with a mostly young rotation. In 2018, Rockies pitchers -- led by 17-game winner Kyle Freeland -- accomplished the most strikeouts (1,409) and lowest opposing batting average (.250) in club history. In an era when the first-time manager is en vogue, Black came to the Rockies after managing the Padres from 2007-15. "He was the right man, well-timed for the job at hand," Bridich said. "Whatever happened in San Diego in all those years there, the experience, perspective and everything that he's about, was exactly what he needed. The timing, what we could potentially do as a team, as an organization at the Major League level, putting him in as the manager, has ended up igniting a positive or codifying a message.
