Griffin Herring traded by the Yankees to the Rockies..

Yikes

while it may push him closer to making the majors, it does so in a system significantly worse for player development and for one of the worst teams in the majors.

On top of all of that, it's the literal worst park for pitchers in baseball, by a pretty wide margin. The difference between Coors and no. 2 (Fenway) is the same difference between no. 2. and no. 20 (Globe Life).

Funny enough, Kade Anderson went to the best park baseball is Seattle. This is big for him as the propensity to give up HR was one of his few weak spots. There's an interesting you tube video explaining why. It has to do with weird wind patterns that blow in from LCF, which are opposite from the traditional wind patterns in the Seattle area.

Mr. Hering sure is going places! Just another name on the long long list of Louisianamals to tare it up in the pros! Da tigah fateful sure are proud!

Damn that sucks. I was happy for Kade when he avoided it in the draft. Just a graveyard for pitchers.

Colorado Rockies.........where pitcher's careers go to die.

hey man… they have a good hamburger steak with onions!

he won't go to the bigs right away, and if he can continue to pitch well in the minors, he will continue to be trade bait, and can possibly get away from colorado…

I will continue to say Denver should not be allowed to have a baseball team. Colorado can't seem to have anything, if it isn't located in Denver.

Pitchers can't pitch there. It's not baseball. Stop playing baseball in Denver.

That’s actually good for him because he will get to mlb quicker
