The Colorado Rockies are one of five teams sending prospects to be a part of the Salt River Rafters, a team in the AFL’s Eastern Division that plays its games at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. The Arizona Diamondbacks are another team contributing to Salt River’s roster, a logical thought since Arizona and Colorado share Salt River Fields as their spring training headquarters.
Representing the Rockies for Salt River are pitchers Ryan Castellani and Jesus Tinoco, along with outfielder Sam Hilliard and infielders Josh Fuentes and Tyler Nevin.
