Posted: 6:23 PM First, Peter Forsberg. Now, Adam Foote. For the second time in two days, the Colorado Avalanche have brought back a player from their glory days.

Posted: 6:19 PM Neifi Perez agreed today to return to the Colorado Rockies on a minor league contract -- a goodwill gesture for one of the more popular players in club history. Perez could earn 1 million dollars if he makes the 40-man roster and earns significant playing time, but the odds of that are slim because the organization is loaded with young, talented infielders. The Rockies already have two candidates in Clint Barmes and Omar Quintanilla to replace Jamey Carroll as their utility infielder.

Posted: 3:59 PM Sitting in the silent Colorado clubhouse while the Boston Red Sox celebrated their World Series sweep at Coors Field last October isn't a pleasant memory for any of the Rockies. Yet, right-hander Aaron Cook looks back at that night with some mixed emotions, at least. He lost Game 4 despite allowing three runs over six stellar innings in a performance that showed he was healthy again after missing nearly three months with a strained side muscle.
