As a Giants hater this World Series was pretty painful to watch, but
there were two things that make me feel a little better about the Tigers
losing. The first is my general dislike of Prince Fielder, I'm just not a fan of the
guy, and second being Marco Scutaro winning a ring. Scutaro only played
in 95 games for the Rockies and was a below average hitter over that
time, but he always had professional at bats and played solid defense
and converted me into a Scutaro fan. I am still a little disappointed
that the Rockies traded Scutaro for next to nothing, basically giving
him to a division rival to make a championship run, but that is not Scutaro's
fault and he should not be blamed for ineptitude of the Rockies front
office. A couple other former Rockies picked up their second World Series rings with
the Giants, Javier Lopez pitched for Colorado from 2003 to April of
2005, going 4-1 with a 3.70 ERA and one save over 75 games as a rookie
in 2003. Jeremy Affeldt spent the last half of 2006 and all of 2007 with
the Rockies, going 4-3 with a 3.51 ERA over 75 games in 2007, helping Colorado
to the 2007 World Series.Baseball card blog focusing on 1971 Topps, cards of catchers and the Colorado Rockies, sometimes drifting of into other areas or sports.

Congrats to some former Rockies
