Would you rather a platoon or a trade in right field?

The news that the team got on Adolis Garcia was probably the worst news they could get. Even with the recent uptick in Garcia’s hitting, right field was still something of a weakness for the team. He wasn’t hitting much, but his defense was an outright asset to have. Not having him available for (likely) […]

When One Rockies Season Is Enough to Remember 

More than 700 players have appeared in a game for the Rockies. Most do not last long.
