As the season gets underway, RoxPile.com is making some fun (but completely unqualified!) predictions about how members of the Colorado Rockies will fare this summer. In this edition: Rafael Betancourt.
After tearing his ulnar collateral ligament in August of 2013, Rafael Betancourt missed the entire 2014 season rehabbing from Tommy John Surgery, no small feat for a man now nearly 40 years old.
But, to his credit as a professional, he did it, and he’s back in Denver with the Colorado Rockies at the Major League level and, thus far in 2015, has been pitching well as a set-up man for closer Adam Ottavino.
