With just four days until the commencement of the 2021 Cactus League, we will soon see the 26-man roster unfold before our eyes. The Rockies have a relatively established starting rotation, but following a tough 2020 campaign for the collective bullpen, several arms will soon prove their candidacies for Opening Day and beyond.
Dereck Rodríguez
While the Rockies’ rotation may be set with Márquez/Freeland/Senzatela/Gray/Gomber, there is a case Rodríguez could eventually earn his way into the mix. He’s pitched three seasons with the Giants, his best year coming in 2018 where he posted a 2.81 ERA in 21 games (19 starts).
