1+ week, 2+ day ago (1171+ words) LAS VEGAS " Paul DePodesta has returned to a brave new world. But that was long ago and far away. DePodesta is 10 years removed from working in baseball and enters a landscape filled with new contraptions and enough analytical data to make any number-cruncher's head spin. And, oh yeah, he's inherited a Rockies team that has gone 163-323 over the last three seasons and was outscored by a modern era record 424 runs in 2025. So, when news broke that DePodesta was Colorado's surprise hire, skepticism was high. However, at the recent general managers' meetings, it was impossible to find a discouraging word from his colleagues about the Rockies' out-of-the-box decision to lure DePodesta back to baseball. While several executives were surprised that Depodesta was returning to the game after his 10-year stint with the NFL's Cleveland Browns, none of them thought he was…...

DePodesta, whose analytics savvy and ability to play salary cap tetris with the Oakland Athletics was chronicled in the 2011 movie Moneyball, appears poised to fully take the reins on the baseball side. I specifically asked owner Dick Monfort on Thursday what his role would be moving forward in baseball operations. Rockies fans for years have been calling for him to step away from the baseball arm or even sell the team....

Dodgers" evil empire, the truth is far less ambitious and not nearly so glamorous. He"s a glorified nanny. DePodesta was hired away from a pro football laughingstock to babysit the sons of Rockies owner Dick Monfort. "I think they are sort of pushing me out. Doesn"t it feel that way?" Dick Monfort said Thursday, when DePodesta was introduced as the team"s new front-office guru. At age 71, the head of the Monfort family baseball clan insists he is finally taking a big step away from day-to-day operations of a team that has lost at least 100 games in three straight seasons.
