Default Rockies Lock Up Hawpe for Three Years

Quote:
Rockies agree with Hawpe on three-year, $17,425,000 deal

The Colorado Rockies keep locking up the nucleus that took them to the World Series last season.

Outfielder Brad Hawpe and Colorado agreed Tuesday to a $17,425,000, three-year contract, making the right fielder the fourth key Rockies player to receive a long-term deal following the team's first World Series appearance last October.

The deal, which includes a club option for 2011, replaces the $3,925,000, one-year contract that had been agreed to in January.

"I think the Rockies have made a good commitment to the players and I think the players have worked hard to build up the franchise," Hawpe said. "I think there's a good thing going on here, not just the players and the front office, but everyone involved all the way through the minor league system."
Full story.

This has been a great offseason for the Rockies. Tulowitzki, Cook, Corpas, Holliday, and now Hawpe have been locked up for the next few seasons. The Rockies should remain competitive for the next three years simply off of these moves.

Good deal, Hawpe is a good player who has pop in his bat.

I agree Hawpe has Pawpe. Not to mention his people skills are in full swing. At the ballpark, I hear the kids saying nothing but positive things about him. Which makes him a FANS Player.

With the D-backs making there signings this division is going to be extremely competitive for the next few years...Dodgers (especially with Torre) and Padres are already competitive...all they need is the Giants to get on board.
