ID Help on Autographed bat

Can anyone help with the signatures on this bat ? The only one I can read is Duane Espy who was (I think) The same Espy who was a coach for the Rockies. Much appreciated. Wish these modern players would learn how to write.

I believe the one closest to "Big Stick" with the little number 12 is Clint Barmes.

I see Brad Hawpe with the number 11 and I think the one to the far right on the second photo may be Garrett Atkins. Definitely a Rockies or possibly a Tulsa Drillers bat.

The one with number 37 is Joe Kennedy.

Next to Barmes is pitching coach Bob Apodaca.

This is fun!

One of them looks like it may be Jack Corrigan, who is the Rockies play-by-play radio guy.

The last one might be Danny Ardoin? If so, this is dated to the 2005 Rockies, probably spring training.

Above Apodaca is Bryan Harvey, who was also a coach with Tulsa. Did the Rockies play a preseason exhibition there one year? I think Harvey was there is 2008-09, thereabouts.

I don't think that's Harvey, I think that's Brad Hawpe.

Duh, you're right. That is absolutely Hawpe.

To the right of Kennedy near the end of the barrel is J.D. Closser.

Thanks everyone, I think Duane Espy was only with the Rockies one year 2003 as hitting coach. It came out of a Denver collection in which all of the autographs were gotten at card shows or the stadium. So could have spanned several years or maybe been a Rockies reunion in the Denver area.
Happy Holidays and again Thanks
