No set roles in Rox bullpen with plenty of power arms

The Rockies are heading back to the future.

Bullpen coach Darren Holmes knows the script. He has been there, did well and is eager to take a page out of Rockies pitching history and revise it this season.

Colorado is putting together a bullpen in which roles will be forgotten and where getting outs at critical times will be the focus.

While that has become a recent fad amid the evolution of analytics, it is an old approach at Coors Field, one that Holmes was a part of during his playing stint with the organization from 1993-97.
