SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Rockies outfielder David Dahl wants the triumphs of last year to give him confidence heading into this season. Gerardo Parra would like to forget 2016 as quickly as possible.
Each arrived at Spring Training 2017 trying to prove he is worthy of the Rockies' regular left-field job.
With the closer's identity more dependent on whether Greg Holland has fully recovered from October 2015 Tommy John surgery, and with the catcher position projected to be a shared duty between Tom Murphy and Tony Wolters, left field looms as the only true competition for a high-profile job in Rockies camp.
