If there's one thing we've learned about Troy Tulowitzki from this MLB Fan Cave video, it's that he could always fall back on acting if the whole baseball things doesn't pan out.

Troy Tulowitzki is Good Through 2020

Troy Tulowitzki and the Colorado Rockies agreed to a giant new contract Tuesday that will pay him an extra $132 million over seven seasons through 2020 and $157.75 million over the next decade.

The All-Star shortstop had already been guaranteed $25.75 million through 2013 under the $31 million, six-year contract he agreed to back in January 2008.

Troy Tulowitzki Will See You in June, Maybe

Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is taking a trip to the disabled list after tearing his left quadriceps tendon, and could be out past the All-Star break.

Realistically, last year's runner up for the NL Rookie of the Year is looking at a few months on the DL, with a best-case scenario of a six-week return.

Tulowitzki was hurt while charging a grounder in the first inning of the Rockies' 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants Tuesday night, a game which he wasn't even supposed to play in. He underwent an MRI exam the following day, revealing the tear near his hip.

Tulowitzki was struggling for most of this season so far, hitting just .152 with one home run and 11 RBIs over 105 at-bats this year. Clint Barmes will fill in up the middle in the meantime.

Troy Tulowitzki Plays Hero in Rockies' Rally

The Diamondbacks took the lead in the top half of the 10th when Stephen Drew hit a two-out single off Byung-Hyun Kim (1-0). Kim got the first two outs, but walked Chris Snyder and hit third baseman Alberto Callaspo with a pitch, setting up Drew's single that drove Snyder home. Brad Hawpe's throw from the outfield barely missed the sliding catcher.

Todd Helton and Matt Holliday led off the 11th with singles against closer Jose Valverde (0-1), but Hawpe hit into a double play. Rookie shortstop Troy Tulowitzki then hit a low fastball, driving in pinch-runner Jamey Carroll to tie it up. Eric Byrnes just about had it, but the ball hit him on the wrist as he dove toward the wall in a valient effort.

Tulowitzki then scored the game-winner on a Chris Iannetta grounder that Callaspo couldn't handle.

The Rockies then relied on their bullpen to get the win. Kim and 5 other releivers took control when Jeff Francis came out after six solid innings, allowing 2 runs on seven hits with four strikeouts.

Livan Hernandez went seven innings for Arizona, giving up two earned runs on five hits, striking out four and walking two.
