Wednesday Rockpile: September is Shaping the 2012 Rockies
In what has been truly a dreary season, it was very nice indeed to see Troy Tulowitzki get an important hit in a high leverage situation to lead Colorado to victory last night. If nothing else, it feels like we're through the doldrums of late August, in that the Rockies now at least have some...

Wednesday Rockpile: The Position Battle That Matters
Now that we're already well into Spring Training, many Rockies fans have heard about the position battles going on. In case you haven't, Steve Foster of ITR has a good rundown of them. However, I disagree with his assessment that the fifth starter battle is the most important. Yes, Felipe Paulino's...
Overviewing the Battle for Snaps on Maryland's Defensive Line
After overviewing the tight end battle, the next logical step would be the wasteland that is Maryland's offensive line. But quite frankly, that group is such a cluster (you can guess the next word) that it would be an extraordinarily strong effort just to make a little bit of headway in figuring...
Overviewing The Battle for Snaps for Maryland's Tight Ends
Maryland might be Punter U above all, but they also have a pretty good record with tight ends: Vernon Davis, Jeff Dugan, Joey Haynos, and Jason Goode are just a few of the recent stars. But this year, there's no real set starter at the position, meaning it's open for competition for a plethora of...
The growing continues for JaVale McGee
RICHMOND, VA -- Flip Saunders isn't the type of coach to badmouth his players publicly. Ask him about Gilbert Arenas, and Saunders will praise his competitiveness, his love of the game and his basketball IQ. Ask Saunders about Andray Blatche and Nick Young, and Saunders will go on about how much...
Vikings' Training Camp Battles: Wide Receiver
When it comes to Minnesota Vikings' Training Camp, all eyes are pretty well focused on the battle at the quarterback position, as well they should be. We've done quite a bit of looking at the QB battle ourselves, and will continue to do so as the next couple of weeks go by. However, there are...
Position Battle: SS
There are a few positions that you really don't need to worry about on this year's version of the Terps - positions with a lot of solid, productive players; positions like RB or WR. Safety is another one of those positions: the Terps are loaded. Their stable includes two five stars, last year's...
Position Battle: Punt Returner
Maryland's set as set can be at KR - Torrey Smith set an ACC record in kick return yardage - but punt returner is a position very in flux. It was given to the now graduated Danny Oquendo the past few years, not for his playmaking ability, but for his sure hands. That was proved by his measly 104...
Position Battle: Kicker
As there always is after a kicker leaves, there'll be a fierce position battle for the spot. Maryland hasn't had an elite kicker since Nick Novak - Dan Ennis was servicable, as was Obi Egekeze, but neither could be described as "great." It may be a bit much to ask for that this year, but at least...
