Brendan Rodgers is figuring it out
2022 couldn’t have started much worse for Brendan Rodgers.
The 25-year old former top prospect had just four hits, all singles, in his first 14 games. His average dropped as low as .078 at the end of April causing manager Bud Black to drop him to eighth in the batting order. With the Rockies off to a solid start, thanks in no part to Rodgers, there was considerable momentum for him to be sent down to AAA. Rodgers preached patience - “[g]ot to keep grinding”, he said, and Black agreed, continuing to put him in the lineup.
