Rockies Mailbag: What’s at root of terrible record, youth movement or bad veterans?

Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.

Pose a Rockies- or MLB-related question for the Rockies Mailbag.

I still feel that the main reason for the Rockies’ historic struggles is not their youth movement, but the large number of veterans who have given the Rockies subpar results (cough, cough, Nick Martini and most of the rotation). How far away are we from seeing more significant debuts, like Ryan Ritter (tearing it up at Triple-A) replacing Martini at DH or Gabriel Hughes or Sean Sullivan coming up?
