SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Jeff Bridich is generally a man who’s cautious with his words. Indeed, he has mastered “GM speak.”
So when Bridich said the following to Denver Post columnist Mark Kiszla the other day, my antenna went up:
“Now it’s really about what it actually feels like for this group to be a playoff team, be a playoff contender, have a legitimate chance to win the N.L. West and be a real World Series threat. Those are real things for this team.”
I praise the Rockies for their lofty goals. It’s not often that this franchise begins a season looking to scale the summit.
