With a .372/.413/.767 slash through 16 games in the Cactus League, it appears the Rockies may have more than just a frontrunner for their first base duties.
Colorado finalized a one-year, $1 million deal (plus incentives) with C.J Cron this week. His spring campaign so far has lifted him beyond the non-roster invite status he arrived with, and the Rockies have secured a key corner infielder in an otherwise uncertain post-Helton/post-Arenado landscape. Cron comes with an interesting statistical background, seven years of big league tenure, and a strong familiarity with hitting in thin air.
