The Colorado Rockies have reportedly completed their first round of interviews of candidates for their vacant managerial position. Among the candidates that have been identified are current player Jason Giambi, bench coach Tom Runnells, former Rockies player Walt Weiss, and current Arizona Diamondbacks bench coach Matt Williams. Rockies front office personnel will meet later this week to discuss the position further and decide whether or not to pursue other interviews.
Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez was honored with a Rawlings National League Gold Glove Award for his defensive play in left field. It’s the second Gold Glove of Gonzalez’s career. Gonzalez recorded seven outfield assists from left field in 2012.
