Rockies
Scouting Report:
Rockies: One of the unknowns about the playoffs was whether Jimenez, 23, who wasn't called up from the Minors until August, would be able to handle playoff pressure. However, he pitched well in late regular-season games during the Rockies' run to the playoffs, so that should have been an indication. Jimenez has no decisions in two postseason starts, but both have been outstanding. He is carrying a 1.59 ERA in 11 1/3 innings. Jimenez's fastball has been clocked at or near 100 mph, depending on the radar gun, and his breaking pitches and changeup have confounded hitters that have been caught looking for the heater. However, there is one issue: walks. He has eight of them against 11 strikeouts.
In the early 1900s, the Red Sox were known as the Plymouth Rocks.
