The Rockies have lost 30-year old righty reliever Josh Roenicke on waivers to the Twins. Roenicke pitched in 63 games (0 starts) for the Rockies last year and he was 4-2 with 1 save, a 3.25 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. He pitched in 82 games (0 starts) in his two years with the Rockies and he was 4-2 with 1 save, a 3.33 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. I’m am more than a little surprised to see the Rockies let Roenicke go without getting anything for him as he was one of the best relievers on the team last year.

The Rockies have lost 28-year old righty starter/reliever Guillermo Moscoso on waivers to the Royals. Moscoso pitched in 23 games (3 starts) for the Rockies last year and he was 3-2 with a 6.12 ERA and a 1.72 WHIP. He has now pitched in 57 games (24 starts) in his first four years in the majors and he is 11-12 with a 4.16 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. This isn’t much of a loss for the Rockies based on the way Moscoso pitched for them last year.

The Rockies have lost 25-year old righty swinging shortstop Thomas Field on waivers to the Twins. Field played in 2 games for the Rockies last year and he as 0 for 2 (.000 avg, .333 OPS). He also played in 121 games in AAA-ball for the Rockies last year and he was 107 of 435 (.246 avg, .715 OPS) with 74 runs scored, 8 homers, 49 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. Field played in 18 games in his two years with the Rockies and he was 13 of 50 (.260 avg, .575 OPS) with 4 runs scored, 0 homers and 3 RBIs. The Rockies are loaded at shortstop, so they likely won’t miss Field too much down the road.

The Rockies have lost 25-year old righty reliever Zach Putnam on waivers to the Cubs. Putnam pitched in 2 games out of the pen for the Rockies last year and he was 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and a 2.00 WHIP. He also pitched in 49 games (0 starts) in AAA-ball last year and he was 3-4 with 12 saves, a 4.15 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP. Putnam has now pitched in 10 games (0 starts) in his first two years in the majors and he is 1-1 with a 4.82 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. This isn’t much of a loss for the Rockies moving forward.
