Colorado Rockies prospects: No. 2, Ethan Holliday

2. Ethan Holliday (554 points, 19 ballots) Ethan Holliday is a name that has been well-known to Rockies fans for a long time, if only from the connection to his father, Rockies great Matt — not to mention his brother, 2022 number one overall pick Jackson. Those connections made it extremely likely the Rockies would […]

Consistency will be key for Jordan Beck in 2026

After playing in 148 games and slashing .258/.317/.416 with 16 home runs for the Colorado Rockies last season, Jordan Beck’s main takeaway concerned his health and physique. “Just how to take care of your body,” he said. “I mean, you have an idea, I guess.

Colorado Rockies prospects: No. 3, Brody Brecht

3. Brody Brecht (476 points, 19 ballots) The statuesque Brecht — a 6’4”, 235-pound, 23-year-old right-hander — has taken on the mantle of becoming the Rockies’ highest-ranked (and highest-ceiling) pitching prospect. Brecht could have been an early draft pick coming out of high school in 2021, but he wanted to play college football as a […]

Meet new Red Sox infielder Brendan Rodgers

Who is he, and where does he come from? He’s Brendan Rodgers. He was an everyday starter for the lowly Rockies in 2024, leading some to believe he was heading our way at that year’s trade deadline, before we learned that Craig Breslow only makes deals for winning players in the offseason. Subsequently, Rodgers’ age […]

Battle of league-worsts ends in walk-off bomb

That was a bummer. Wait, you don’t know what I’m talking about? Well, MLB returned to the theoretical on Monday, as the Rockies and White Sox played one of those tree-falls-in-the-forest games, with no video or audio record of it left behind. Statcast is a component of every Spring Training game this season, which is […]

Game Thread: White Sox (3-0) at Rockies (1-2)

Sure, it’s too early to start counting on the calendar to determine which White Sox arm is in line for Opening Day on March 26 but … well, OK, I just did. And today’s starter, Shane Smith, going every five days lands him at March 25. So, as makes absolute sense, Shane Smith is your […]

2026 MLB Team Preview Series: Colorado Rockies

Coors Field is a wonderful place to watch a baseball game, the stretch of breweries that lead up to the stadium make for a perfect pregame, and the 2026 Colorado Rockies will in all likelihood stink the joints up to high heaven. I’m a casual follower of the Rockies, considering them my B-team even if […]

Colorado Rockies prospects: No. 4, Cole Carrigg

4. Cole Carrigg (476 points, 19 ballots) The term “super-utility player” is often employed with hyperbole, but in the case of Carrigg, it fits like a glove (any kind of baseball glove, in Carrigg’s case). The 23-year-old has played literally every position (and played them well) in a college or pro game over the last […]
