Nuggets shooting guard Randy Foye looks to take advantage of the All-Star Break. Foye was so hobbled, he said “making simple moves, not even like jumping, but just making cuts and just twisting my ankle or my hamstring feeling like it’s about to pull. The break, it’s time to rest.” – The Denver Post

Could Michael Cuddyer bat in the two-slot for the Colorado Rockies? It is very likely. It reminds me of when we had Ellis there,” Weiss said. “I talked to (Cuddyer) about it this winter. I like the idea of having such a powerful hitter there when the lineup turns over. Cuddy is a proven run producer.” – Rox Pile
