Rogers not ready

Rockies prospect Esmil Rogers, a 24-year old pitcher, makes his major league debut Saturday in place of dinged up Ubaldo Jimenez.

This move by the Rockies, no matter how many positive ones management has made this season, is similar to past moves, rushing pitchers before they're ready. Rogers was having a very solid campaign in Double A Tulsa, with an excellent strikeout to walk ratio, limiting homers and winning games. Once promoted to Triple A Colorado Springs he was a different guy, getting used for batting practice.

Bottom line -- he's not ready for the majors, even in a 3-5 inning stint. The Rockies feel they have no choice. Josh Fogg can't step in, Adam Eaton can't do it.

The Rockies continue to win with patches all over it's team, injury wise but can it hold on and continue doing so?
