After four long years driving the clown car, Walt Weiss pulled to the curb, hopped out and walked away. He told the Rockies to take this job and shove it, the same as Jim Tracy did when he quit as Rockies manager in 2012.
Is franchise owner Dick Monfort so tone deaf he thinks the rest of Major League Baseball does not hear the dysfunction in Colorado’s organization?
This is where I am supposed to make a list of managerial candidates that can push the long-suffering Rockies to a playoff berth in 2017.
The obvious choice that leaps to my mind is Bud Black, a former pitcher who was well liked inside the clubhouse and throughout the National League during his nine seasons as manager in San Diego.
