Have to agree with Below C-Level and Roxpert. I'm happy the Rockies aren't spending. Do I want Vernon Wells? Alfonso Soriano? Of course. Do I want the Rockies to spend the entire team budget (see: Helton) on them? No way.
The Rockies did the smart thing this off-season and didn't over-spend. They locked up Francis, who they see as a potential #1 for us later down the road, and picked up some bullpen help. Okay, not really, but they're trying to without spending the bank.
Give it another year. Or until the big teams have to unload all these players for cheap and are willing to pick up their contracts (see: Hampton, Walker).
