The Rockies plumbed new depths in 2012, compiling the worst record in
franchise history at 64-98, so significant changes were probably to be
expected.
After reaching the playoffs in 2009 when Jim Tracy took over as manager in
May, Colorado has been in steady decline, going from 92 wins to 83 to 73 to
64. After trying various fixes without success, the organization got radical
in 2012.
In mid-June, the Rockies implemented a four-man rotation and alloted each
starter about 80 pitches. That plan reduced the opportunity for valuable
sidework between starts, among other problems, and was scrapped after two
months.
The pitching staff ended the season with a 5.22 ERA, the highest in the
majors and the team's worst since 2004, as the organization continues to
struggle with the vagaries of playing at altitude. Colorado's 35-46 record at
Coors Field last season was its worst ever, and its starters' ERA at home was
6.70.
In August, general manager Dan O'Dowd and assistant GM Bill Geivett
essentially switched responsibilities, with O'Dowd shifting his focus to
player development and scouting while keeping the GM title. Geivett became
senior director of major league operations and established an office in the
clubhouse conference room, from where he exerted significant influence over
just about everything associated with the team except game management.
Uncomfortable with his reduced authority under the new front-office
arrangement, Tracy resigned after the season, walking away from the $1.4
million salary he had coming in 2013. To replace him, the Rockies hired Walt
Weiss, the shortstop on their first-ever playoff club in 1995 and a former
special assistant to O'Dowd for seven years, most recently in 2008. Weiss
hasn't managed or coached professionally, and he had coached a Denver-area
high school team for one successful season when hired.
Colorado has a long history of loyalty to its employees, so the one-year deal
Weiss received is less significant than it seems. He has the pedigree of
playing most of his career for Tony LaRussa and Bobby Cox, and he's familiar
with the organization.
Amid the rubble, there was some good news. Injuries created big league
opportunities for a host of relatively inexperienced position players.
Charlie Blackmon, Tyler Colvin, D.J. LeMahieu, Chris Nelson, Jordan Pacheco,
Wilin Rosario, Josh Rutledge and Eric Young Jr. got the at-bats to show that
they have major league value.
However, the big leagues were a struggle for young starters Tyler Chatwood,
Christian Friedrich, Drew Pomeranz and Alex White. In another effort to solve
their pitching conundrum, the Rockies hired Mark Wiley to the newly created
position of director of pitching operations in October. He's another former
special assistant to O'Dowd and will work closely with him to find a way to
develop effective pitchers in Colorado.
Four of the Rockies' six U.S.-based affiliates made the playoffs in 2012 as
the organization puts three highly unproductive drafts from 2006-08 further
in its rear-view mirror.
Closer-in-waiting Rex Brothers and third baseman Nolan Arenado (the system's
top prospect) were drafted in 2009, followed by outfielder Kyle Parker,
righthander Chad Bettis (its best pitching prospect) and Rutledge in 2010.
Lefthander Tyler Anderson and shortstop/third baseman Trevor Story were the
top selections in 2011, while 2012 first-rounder David Dahl won Rookie-level
Pioneer League MVP honors in his pro debut.
