An Ode to Pitching, Part 1: Jorge De La Rosa

When I lived in Kansas City, I had an opportunity to interview Royals General Manager Dayton Moore. At the time, KC was in dire need of pitching and had all of this assumed talent in the minors. Moore said he would always look to sign and draft pitching because you should have five good starters at the Major League level and five good starters at the Triple A level.

Fast forward to 2015. The Colorado Rockies has pitching. I’m not sure if you call it good or not, but they do have starters. Problem is, in Colorado more so than anywhere else, starters get hurt.
