"Rafael Betancourt stopped Troy Tulowitzki in midsentence Thursday. The Rockies' shortstop couldn't believe the rattail in the pitcher's hair, joking in broken Spanish with him about it.

It made him look younger, his "Outsiders" type coif. Betancourt feels ageless, and the Rockies apparently agree. With the closer already under contract for this season, the Rockies picked up his $4.25 million mutual option for 2013 and added a club option at the same salary for 2014, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the talks. The deal is pending a physical."
