All The Talk At This Year's Rockies Fest About Tulo And GarGo

DENVER (CBS4) - The Colorado Rockies kicked off Fan Fest at Coors Field on Saturday. It was part of a week long Rockies tour that also includes their minor league locations.

Rockies report for spring training at the end of February and a lot of attention will be on Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez. Both stars are coming off injury-plagued seasons

Both Tulo and GarGo on Saturday said they are getting back to full health and expect to be full speed by the start of the season. But will they still be Rockies in April? And if they are, will they stay Rockies?

"Whatever they do, they do. Whatever happens, happens for me. My job is to get ready to play," Tulowitzki said. "I'd love to be here and win here; it would mean that much more to me. But I'm not going to sit here and say, 'It's final, I'm definitely going to stay here.' Because I really don't know."

"It's something you don't control and we're not going to pay attention. If we get traded, what are you going to do? Okay, pack your bags and leave," Gonzalez said. "But as long as you have the opportunity to play here, I'm going to do my best to make this team better."
