Jorge Alberto de la Rosa Gonzalez (born April 5, 1981, in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico) is a starting pitcher for the Colorado Rockies of Major League Baseball.
[edit] Baseball career
During the 2006 season, Brewers starting pitchers Ben Sheets, Tomo Ohka, and long relief man Rick Helling were injured, leaving the fifth spot open. The Brewers inserted De la Rosa in the starting role after an unsuccessful stint with Dana Eveland. In 3 starts, he went 0-2 with an 12.27 ERA. In his third start, he was removed because of blisters on his finger. He was then placed on the 15-day DL.
De la Rosa was traded to the Kansas City Royals for Tony Graffanino during the 2006 season. In his first start for the Kansas City Royals, he pitched six innings allowing two earned runs and getting the win. De la Rosa played for the Mexican baseball team during the World Baseball Classic.
On April 30, 2008, he was traded to the Colorado Rockies, completing the earlier trade that sent pitcher Ramón Ramírez to the Royals.
In 2009, he tied for the major league lead in errors by a pitcher, with 5.[1]
