Boy did the media in Colorado try to overhype him last year during the playoffs. He pitched in two big games (playoff against san diego and the world series) and was terrible in both. And you wonder why the Rockies let him walk. My favorite part was when they were talking about all the "ace" pitchers he won against, they listed Mike Mussina!!! If you need to throw that name in there then you know they are really reaching. But other than that you're right, bring up Bruce, keep Bailey down. Volzquez has been great, but I still see him more as a reliever, possibly being replaced by Baily mid season and suring up the pen in the process. Edwin hits well for a 3rd baseman, but enough to play a corner outfield spot? Bottom line is Dunn is gone after this year, and so maybe Griffey. So Edwin could play the outfield if he can beat out Drew Stubbs in '09. Ah Josh Fogg the “dragon slayer” is already done as a starter.
