We've got a new manager in town, with our bench coach's contract expiring, Kelsey Nelson was demoted to bench coach, with Ron Oester aboard as our new manager.

The Rockies drafted first overall, and selected SP Hideo Nomo with our top pick. In the second round we selected SP Jason Schmidt with starting pitchers Matt Beech and Jason Dickson selected in the third round. Another starting pitcher Rocky Coppinger was selected in the fourth round, with relievers Matt Ruebel and Trey Beamon rounding out the draft.

As we head into salary arbitration we will be non-tendering MR Mark Davis, MR Jeff Fischer, MR Jeff Sellers, 2B Craig Wilson, and CF Kevin Romine. Based on their performance and age they just weren't worth the money.

The Rockies also had Tom Hausman, Jim Clancy, Tim Conroy, Scott Sanderson, and CF Mike Ramsey retire this year. So even though we drafted seven pitchers, we'll be losing seven pitchers as well.
