A couple pitchers have been standouts for the Colorado Rockies so far
Lefty starter Jorge De La Rosa and righty reliever Rafael Betancourt are both throwing darts so far this year. De La Rosa has started 1 game this season, which he won, by working 7 shutout innings allowing only 1 hit and 1 walk while whiffing 9 batters! De La Rosa is hoping to build off his breakout season in 2009 and it looks like he will. Betancourt is one of the top set-up men in all of baseball and he is showing why so far this season. In 3 games for the Rockies, Betancourt has pitched in 3 innings allowing only 1 hit while whiffing 5. When Huston Street gets back from injury the back end of the Rockies’ pen is going to be outstanding once again.
