Mark Reynolds turned down a $3 million offer from a Korean team; received multiple minor league offers and chose to re-sign with Colorado.

Could I ask somebody with access to the Play Index to check a fun fact for me? While doing research for the NPB thread I found Tetsuto Yamada.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.cgi?id=yamada000tet

Japan has a made up stat line called :frogsiren:The Triple Three:frogsiren:
Triple Three = players that recorded a .300 or better batting average, thirty or more home runs, and thirty or more stolen bases in a single season.

The fun fact is Yamada is the first player in pro baseball history to win the Triple Three in two consecutive years. Is this true?

Nope, Vlad Guerrero did in 2001 and 2002. There may be other pro leagues where it happened, but he was the last MLB player to do it.

Good loving luck.

The Padres are giving serious consideration going to a four-man piggyback rotation, similar to what the #Rockies tried in 2012. Having four regular 1-4 starters on a pitch limit of 75-80; regularly followed by what would be starters 5-8 filling in the middle innings piggyback role; with the remaining late innings/setup/closer

Christian Friedrich will never escape that goddawful idea

Was there a typhoon or was the field designed for absolutely no drainage?

is the field is below street level? That would likely put it below sea level, which could cause a serious drain issue.

speaking of food: new food item at Coors Field this year

Apple Pie Nachos:
fried tortilla covered in cinnamon/powdered sugar
wedge slices of apples, covered in cinnamon/powdered sugar
cheddar cheese
vanilla ice cream
whip cream

but seriously, if you are going to a game in Denver, only order minimum food/drink at the ballpark, and eat/drink at the hundreds of places around the ballpark instead.

N: Jeff Hoffman was optioned to AAA today.

V: the Rockies pitching rotation so far is set at Gray, Anderson, then Chatwood. Competing for the four/five spots are German Marquez, Antonio Senzatela, and Kyle Freeland. It looks like it's probably going to be Senzatela and Freeland.

If the 4/5 rotation spots are in the order of Senzatela then Freeland, Freeland would start the home opener on April 7th.

Why is that a thing? Because Kyle Freeland went to Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver. I saw him play in high school in 2010 and 2011. :corsair: Holy god, I'm getting old.

And people will go crazy in this town if a Denver kid starts the home opener and has a good game.

The Rockies extended their lease with the state's municipal stadium district for Coors Field until 2047. They are going to get leasing rights to the parking lot on the west side of 20th street to build on.

I'll be SIXTY THREE YEARS OLD at that point :stare:

Atlanta and Texas are already replacing or have already replaced their stadiums that are the same age as Coors.
