The Colorado Rockies got off to a good start during their spring training season as they beat the Chicago White Sox 7-3.

Matt Holliday and Troy Tulowitzki led the Rockies on the offensive side of the bal.  Holliday had two hits including an almost homerun that he hit off the wall.  Tulowitski smashed the first ball he seen for a home run as well.  Rockies fans are going to hope they hear that Holliday and Tulowitzki led them to victory alot the season!

Jeff Francis started on the mound for the Rockies and gave up one run on three hits over two innings.   Pretty good showing for Francis’s first start of spring training.

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.
