SCOTTSDALE, ariz. —
With the Rockies about halfway through spring training, it's a good time to share some opinions and impressions:
• A close friend of Troy Tulowitzki's insists Tulo wasn't taking a premeditated shot at the Rockies last week when he told USA Today that the Rockies' complex at Salt River Fields "was like a country club." Tulo, his friend told me, was mostly trying to express how comfortable he feels at the Toronto Blue Jays' complex, as outdated as it is.
Maybe so, but Tulo's words — meant mostly for general manager Jeff Bridich and owner Dick Monfort — still stung.
