Colorado Rockies: Crowded outfield is bad news for Hilliard

The Rockies pitchers and catchers report to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Arizona on February 11 and the first game on the 22nd, manager Bud Black already has a big roster decision looming.

The outfield has an abundance of players deserving of a spot on the opening day roster but not enough room to fit them all. Charlie Blackmon, David Dahl, Ian Desmond, and Raimel Tapia are virtual locks to make the roster. The big question is what will Black decide to do with rookie Sam Hilliard.
