The Colorado Rockies are currently in third place in the National League West, with 13 wins and 13 loses, one game behind the second place San Francisco Giants, and three games behind the first place San Diego Padres.  Of those 13 wins, however, pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez has won 6.  He currently has six wins, no losses, has a 0.87 ERA, and just recently (Monday) had his 25 1/3 scoreless innings streak snapped.  He did, however, strikeout 13 batters on his way to his sixth victory.

The most dominant pitcher in the baseball is throwing 97 to 100 mph sinkers, won the National League pitcher of the month in April, is frustrating hitters, and even doing work with his bat, getting an RBI in Monday victory over the Padres.

The most interesting part of his dominance, however, is the amount of money he's getting paid.  While others, doing a lot less than him, are making outrageous sums, Jimenez is making $2.8 million this year, in the terms of his four-year, $10 million dollar contract.

The Rockies are getting an incredible bargain, but more importantly, a lot of wins.
