Colorado’s annual quest to figure out first base

Are the Rockies in a wait-and-see mode trying to finally fix their first base problem? | The Athletic ($)

For the first 22 years of the Colorado Rockies’ 26 years of existence, first base was a point of pride. A big bat in the lineup and a solid glove to anchor outs in the field. Andres Galaragga (1993-1997). Todd Helton (1998-2013). Justin Morneau (2014). Obviously, others filled in (see PurpleRow’s first base history story from 2017), but times were good at first.

Year after year since then, it’s been a hard spot to fill for the Rockies, which is not news to any Colorado fan.
