Warren Schaeffer and Paul DePodesta talked a lot about the Rockies’ future on Wednesday morning. Communication, leadership, culture, process and collaboration were their recurring buzzwords and themes.
But two things stood out.
First was Schaffer’s optimistic offseason offering.
“The ultimate goal is to bring consistent winning seasons to this organization,” said Schaeffer, who was officially named as Colorado’s manager on Monday. “You’re going to see winning baseball in Denver a lot sooner than you think.”
For a team coming off a 119-loss season, it was a gutsy thing to say, but such was the optimism of the morning.
