Mike Dunn is not going to immediately, nor single-handedly, fix what ails the Rockies’ bullpen. But the 31-year-old left-hander certainly brings a can-do attitude and some impressive credentials to the endeavor.
Outfitted in his new Rockies baseball cap and No. 38 jersey, Dunn stressed, repeatedly, that he has wanted to pitch for the Rockies for quite some time — Coors Field be darned. When’s the last time you heard a veteran pitcher say that?
“I have kind of been targeting Colorado for about a year and a half,” Dunn said Thursday after signing a three-year, $19 million contract.
