Closing Thoughts
The Rockies have high expectations. Arguably the highest they have been since the 2008 season. They have the talent to compete this year; however, if they truly want to put their names on the map and attempt to become serious contenders in the National League they need to answer these questions.
General manager Jeff Bridich has shown this offseason that he is willing to be aggressive to get players he thinks will build this team up. He’s done a solid job at that, but there are some essential holes in the Rockies roster that need to be patched up in order to really get this team moving in the direction of contention.
Pitchers and catcher report in mid February with Opening Day on the April 3. That should leave Bridich and Co. plenty of time to get things straightened out.
