Speier Spiked

Ryan Speier is out for the season after shoulder surgery. Speier pitched a short but very effective season for the Rockies in 2005:

Speier, a side-arming right-hander, went 2-1 with a 3.65 earned-run average in three stints with the Rockies last year and pitched 24 2/3 innings without allowing a home run. Speier jumped from Class AA Tulsa to make the Rockies' Opening Day roster and, that day, won his first game in his major-league debut. Speier was optioned to Class AAA Colorado Springs on April 28 after going 1-1 with a 9.82 ERA in 10 games.

He returned to the Rockies for a week in August, and finally, in September, when the rosters were expanded, going 1-0 with a 1.04 ERA in 12 games.

He could have been another test case for unusual deliveries working in Colorado.

Speier injured his shoulder playing basketball in December - guess he didn't learn much from the Aaron Boone incident...
