Hoping vs. changing for Rockies rotation
We all know that pitching was the core of the Rockies mountains of problems in 2019. An unstable rotation. Homers galore. Short outings. An overused and equally ineffective bullpen. Early injuries to Antonio Senzatela and then Tyler Anderson. Let the domino effect continue with a minor league demotion of a former Cy Young candidate to late-season injury shutdowns. Rough stuff.
In this dive into what happened and what the future might look like, Jack Etkin does a great job breaking down the options beyond the assumed solid three of the 2020 rotation: A back-to-2018 Kyle Freeland and healthy returns of Jon Gray and German Márquez. The rest is a big, fat question mark.
