Back in February, my homie Joelle wrote about the difficulties that come with finding a true ace on the Colorado Rockies roster. She laid things out expertly (as usual), and thusly came to the conclusion that, at that time, they simply did not have a pitcher who could claim such a title.
That’s a real shame.
While I don’t disagree that Colorado’s pitching staff has certainly seen better days, they’re still trotting out there and grinding out starts. I don’t know that there’s a Rockies pitcher that could be considered a Paul Skenes- or Tarik Skubal-like ace in the macro, MLB-wide sense, but is there anyone that acts as the ace of the Rockies?
