Inbox: Who will replace Ottavino in bullpen?
It was difficult for the Rockies and their fans to see Adam Ottavino take his slider and his familiar No. 0 to the Yankees. But the Rockies should have the quality depth and experience to cover for him.
Righty Seunghwan Oh was acquired in a trade with the Blue Jays last season. He made his Colorado debut on July 28 and went on to compile a 2.53 ERA and .626 OPS average against and threw 66 percent strikes with the Rockies. During that time, righty Scott Oberg posted a 1.91 ERA, .487 OPS against and 69 percent strikes. Ottavino had a more consistent overall season, but during that crucial period had a 4.13 ERA, .578 OPS and 61 percent strikes.
