SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Imagine the perfect Rockies player.
He would be blessed with speed, power and be able to hit for average. He’d have the Midas touch with his glove and have a cannon for an arm. He’d be as tough as a diamond.
And, oh yes, he’d have the baseball instincts of, well, Nolan Arenado.
That perfect player is here at spring training. The trick is taking the best qualities from the best players and stitching them together to create a “Super Rockie.” And who better to build that player than the players themselves?
