Daniel Bard’s 2022? It was a very good year
Welcome to the 2022 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2022. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). It’s not something the staff debated. We’ll begin with the player with the lowest rWAR and end up with the player with the highest.
No. 2, Daniel Bard: 3.8 rWAR
On Opening Day of the 2022 season, Daniel Bard reported to the Colorado Rockies’ clubhouse with an electric guitar. He’d decided to leave his acoustic at home.
