Pomeranz staying at Triple-A: Colorado minor league starter Drew Pomeranz is not close to rejoining the major league rotation, reports the Denver Post on Sunday. Despite Pomeranz throwing a second consecutive scoreless outing at Triple-A Colorado Springs, manager Jim Tracy said he's not coming back anytime soon. "I'm not surprised he's pitching good in Triple-A — throwing scoreless innings and giving up just a couple of hits," Tracy said. "But we're trying to make him a little bit better than good. We just don't want him here at the big-league level trying to survive or just making a little contribution. We view this guy as someone that can be a dominant force at the front end of the rotation."

Fantasy Analysis
It sounds like Tracy and the Rockies believe that Pomeranz has a bright future and they don't want to mortgage that on short-term results. Pomeranz made five starts with the Rockies and posted a 4.70 ERA so he clearly needed some more seasoning. He is an intriguing long-term Fantasy option, but nothing more at this time.

04/23/2012 12:26 Reality Check: Humber far from perfect
Philip Humber made history in Week 3, much to the delight of the few owners fortunate enough to start him. However, as Scott White writes in his Reality Check, don't trip over yourself looking to add him.
Drew Pomeranz's first professional season couldn't have been going any more swimmingly. The fifth overall pick in the 2010 draft had an ERA below 2.00 and was striking out more than a batter per inning, rising all the way to Double-A Akron by mid-July. But then, he got traded to the Rockies in the deal that brought Ubaldo Jimenez to Cleveland. On the one hand, the move allowed Pomeranz to reach the majors sooner, accelerating his timetable in Fantasy. On the other hand, it put him in a ballpark known for destroying more accomplished pitchers than him, potentially lowering his ceiling. Pomeranz didn't seem the least bit intimidated by his surroundings, though, allowing two earned runs over 10 2/3 innings in his two home starts -- a number that's even more impressive when you consider he had lost a couple miles per hour on his fastball at that point in the season. At age 23, Pomeranz still needs to figure out how to last a full season, but he has the poise of a major-leaguer and appears to have a rotation spot sewn up. He has the upside of an ace, but given his inexperience, he is best targeted in deeper mixed leagues and NL-only formats for now. (Updated 3/27/12)
