Heading into Spring Training the Rockies’ outfield was practically set. Charlie Blackmon, Ian Desmond, Gerardo Parra would start and David Dahl, Raimel Tapia, and Mike Tauchman battling for the one or two bench spots.
Since then, things haven’t exactly gone as planned. The hand injury to Parra has put his start of the season in jeopardy (but his outlook is looking better) and Desmond’s underwhelming performance has led me to wonder if there is a cause for concern.
Obviously, the Rockies will exhaust all options before sitting Ian Desmond.
