Jorge De La Rosa Agrees To Re-Sign With Rockies On Two-Year Deal With 2013 Option

While de la Rosa has yet to finish a year with more than 185 innings or an ERA below 4.20, he has averaged nearly a strikeout an inning over the last three seasons while working in a hitter-friendly park in Colorado. He uses good heat, a sharp slider, and a strong change to miss a lot of bats, and though he often struggles with command and last year missed significant time with a hand injury, the overall package is a solid one, and de la Rosa remains fairly young.
