The official start of baseball with spring training is just a week from today. So, the Colorado Rockies will have a lot of work with their new Manager Walt Weiss. The Rockies also are implementing a slightly unusual set up with their minor league teams. They'll have a manager and each team will have a full time development supervisor who will travel with the team. For instance, the Grand Junction Rockies, formerly the Casper Ghosts will have Tony Diaz as their development supervisor and who was the former manager, and Anthony Sanders as their field manager. Former major player in the majors and Casper native Mike Devereux will return as the hitting coach of the Ashville Tourists, the Rockies Class A affiliate.
