u25a0 When Craig Counsell was coming up in Colorado's system in the late 1990s, Walt Weiss was the Rockies's shortstop and a role model for Counsell. On Friday, they managed against each other for the first time. "He was the player I tried to be like," said Counsell, who played only a few games with the Rockies before being traded to Florida. "He was the first player I saw that I said, 'That's who I want to be.' Walt was a better player than I was, believe me, but I saw it was a possibility for me to do it like he did.
