The Colorado Rockies have locked up Troy Tulowitzki with a new six year contract that will be worth around $30 million total.  That is a steal for the Rockies in my opinion.  Tulowitzki is a hell of a player and should continue to put up good numbers in the next three to five seasons.

The next few years could be pretty good for the Rockies I think.  They could use some help in the starting rotation and bullpen, but overall I kind of like their chances.

The Colorado Rockies reach agreements with Matt Holliday and Will Tavarez on Friday.  This was a must for Rockies management if they want to continue growing and push towards another World Series run.

Holliday is really cashing in after having an awesome 2007 season and helping the Rockies reach the World Series.  Holliday received a two year contract worth $23 million dollars.  It will be awesome to watch Holliday as he tries to led the Rockies back to post season play and put up the stats that he did in 07.

Willy Tavarez signed a one year contract that will be worth $1.975 million.  Tavarez was signed to the one year deal to avoid salary arbitration.

Marcus Giles and the Colorado Rockies have come to terms on a one year contract.  The contract does not gurantee anything however, and Giles will be battling for a spot on the big league roster at the 2nd base position.

Giles has went down hill ever since he went to San Diego to play for the Padres.  Granted, the Padres do have a huge park to hit in, but Giles has also been injured quite a bit lately.  He isn’t a huge pickup, but if he can stay healthy, he just might jump start his career in Coors Field.

Do you think Marcus Giles is a good signing by the Rockies management?  Leave us a comment and let us know!
