TUCSON, Ariz. (AP)—Neifi Perez agreed Tuesday to return to the Colorado Rockies on a minor league contract, a goodwill gesture for one of the more popular players in club history.

 

Wow.

I think they did this so he would retire a Rockie and wear their hat in the Hall of Fame.

Oh, that's perfect. Since Colorado's AAA affiliate plays in even more hitter friendly atmosphere than Colorado itself, Neifi should be able to put up good enough numbers to get Dusty all hot and bothered to trade for him at the deadline.

 

It's a thing of beauty!

I'll be honest, I almost had a massive heart attack after reading the title.

Haha. Thread winner.

I'm guessing the Rockies are just doing this to give Neifi's career an honorable end and perhaps entice him to take a coaching job. It's actually a nice gesture, since it would have been humiliating for Neifi to end his playing days on a drug suspension.

The Rockies denied the Neifury? That has to be 7 years bad luck, like breaking a mirror.

Even when talking about Neifi Perez, that seems an odd way of doing things by the Rockies.

They got a phone call from an unidentified man begging them not to sign him. They aren't sure who it was, but they are saying he said "dude" a lot and compared Neifi to a striped bass.

Yep...with an offer he could not refuse.
