Rockies' pitching needs to take step forward in '16

RHP Eddie Butler: From 2012-13 in the Minors, Butler struck out 316 in 339 1/3 innings and never had an ERA above 2.39. The next year, he found himself in the Majors, but a shoulder injury in 2014 and a change in strategy have left him 4-11 with a 6.04 ERA in 19 Major League starts over two seasons. After being sent down to Triple-A Albuquerque twice last season -- the second time not to return -- Butler has vowed to return to his sinkerball-dominant style to see if it works in the Majors.
