Cisco,

Reynolds is still in the rest and treatment mode and not doing any throwing.

Alburquerque does not need to be placed on the 40-man roster simply because he was acquired in a trade.

Mike, thats great you asked because I have been doing a lot of research the past week or so for this topic, so I will be able to provide you with some helpful information in a few days. Judging off just my intial numbers, this season there has been an unusually high number of pitchers missing time due to injuries in comparison to other seasons.

On a side note, how bout Hector Gomez again tonight? 4 for 5 with two doubles and a SB of home. He seems to have came back just as strong…

That’s a good one, Al Alburquerque. Did they throw in “Toose” Tuscron in the deal? Phosnix Fee Waybill? Just like the good old local names from punk rock c. 1978.

Wait … it’s not April Fools Day. This is for real? That’s what Dan O’Dowd was holding out for all these years? Al Al-burrrr-querque?

Jack- What’s the status of Greg Reynolds? Is he done for the year?

Jack- Does Alburquerque need to be added to the 40-man roster? If so, who gets removed since Baker was already on the 60-day DL?

David: what’s the baseline for a system? How have they done including the past couple years, compared to other organizations.

Pitchers get hurt a lot. But I have no idea if the Rockies are getting hit hard or not in comparison to other teams.

Jack, why are there so injuries to the pitchers in the system this year? Do you think they will take a look at this, and can you maybe give us a little insight into what you think the problem may be? Its beginning July and we can add Billings and Graham to the growing list of pitchers on every level that are consistently developing elbows and shoulders pains.
