The halfway point
July 1st, 2013

W - 39 / L - 44 / GB - 12

While it was another rough month for the Rockies on the mound as they went 11-16 the Los Angeles Dodgers went 18-10 to take a commanding lead in the NL West now sitting 5.5 games ahead of the second place Diamondbacks. The Good news was several players had good months at the plate and the team hopes they can continue. For the month of June Wilin Rosario, Michael Cuddyer, Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki all hit over .300 for the month and combined for 44 RBI's in the month.

In off the field news the Rockies made a couple of moves one of which was used to bolster their reeling bullpen. On June 12th GM Matt Hill struck a deal with the Los Angeles Angels which sent SP Jeff Francis and 2 minor league players in return for RP Sean Burnett. Francis was 2-4 with a 6.72 ERA for the Rockies in 13 starts this season. Burnett at the time of the trade had pitched 25.1 innings for the Angels and had a super low 0.36 ERA. The other 2 players included in the trade were 37 year old C Ramon Hernandez who was in AAA making $3,200,000 this season, a price too high for someone who would not even be on the active roster. Also involved in the trade was 25 year old minor league SP Christian Friedrich.

To take the place of Jeff Francis the Rockies made a waiver wire claim on 25 year old SP Felix Doubront from the Boston Red Sox. In 14 games Doubront was 6-5 with a 4.40 ERA. He has pitched 1 game for Colorado so far and went 7 innings while giving up 4 runs.
