Farewell, Brad Hawpe!

Time to say good-bye to Brad Hawpe, a long-time Rockies player and a seemingly decent guy. I expect him to do what Garrett Atkins could not: to find success with a new MLB team. Hawpe's long swing has a lot of moving parts, but when it was working right it was a beautiful thing to watch... and although he was an average outfielder at best, his cannon of an arm provided many great moments for Rockies fans. Thank you for seven years in a Rockies uniform, and best of luck Brad Hawpe!

Hawpe has been picked up by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Apparently he's going to start off in the minors and then probably get moved up in September to DH or play first base.
