Then there’s Ubaldo Jimenez, the lanky Dominican with a thunderbolt for an arm. He’s the Next Great Thing for Colorado, the guy who dazzled in Colorado’s magical 2008 postseason (their best trick was disappearing in the World Series). Jimenez, like the rest of the team, was lights-out before the Series—but unlike them, he did pretty well against Boston. In two games before the Series, he gave up two runs and eight hits over eleven innings; in the Series itself, he gave up two runs over four-and-two-thirds innings, though that saddled him with the loss. His final postseason line was 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA; his only real black eye was the 13-13 K:BB ratio.

either of them has a terribly good ERA at Coors (Astacio, 7.32; Francis 4.48).
