I think the fact that Jiminez has done it better for longer, I would rather have a known proven commodity for two years than a chance for three.<br /><br />I think Colorado letting him go has to do with their non contention this year and his escalating salary. They locked up a lot of money in their hitters, so it's only fitting they looked to get four Kennethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529960966125698328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-8896657580747062362011-08-10T11:36:56.996-05:002011-08-10T11:36:56.996-05:00Kyle Davies...HE GONE!Kyle Davies...HE GONE!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678658269205055069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-55860427418798431542011-08-10T11:19:46.446-05:002011-08-10T11:19:46.446-05:00The Kyle Davies Expirement is over!!!

I also grew up mostly in Colorado and am lucky enough to have moved back about two years ago, so I see mostly Rockies coverage out here. My question for you Rany is simple: Is this post an endorsement of Paulino or an indictment of Jimenez? Based on the Jimenez I've seen since the All-Star break last year, you pretty much have to take Paulino.pjbroncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277672919143161617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-37952331048101941822011-08-07T15:30:44.823-05:002011-08-07T15:30:44.823-05:00Hi Rany,

But, you have to consider that this is the best stretch of Paulino's career. Even Kyle Davies has had stretches where he looked pretty good.
