I don't get why people always say things like this about pitchers. "If only he wasn't in Colorado". You know, people can be successful pitching in Coors. Look at Jennings, he won the NL ROY a few years back. Yes they will have higher ERAs at Coors most likely but that doesn't mean they aren't good.
Sorry, just a little rant. I hate all the Coors talk sometimes.

Hey, Francis and Jennings aren't that bad. Pick the #5 Rockies starter if anyone.
My apologies to all Rockie fans. Believe me, I really tried to stay away from Rockies pitchers because they're such easy targets, its really a cheap shot. But be honest, both Francis and Jennings haven't posted an ERA under 5.00 for the past 3 years. Francis was actually WORSE on the road last year than at home. Yet both pitchers will probably start over 30 games each this season. How can I, in good conscience, exclude them?

Not denying their unfortunate ERAs or anything, but they aren't the worst Rockies pitchers.
