The Colorado Rockies have gone from one bridge to the next since franchise stalwart Todd Helton retired. Veterans like Justin Morneau and Mark Reynolds have stepped in admirably, while other veterans like Michael Cuddyer and Gerardo Parra have just stepped in. They famously signed Ian Desmond, first baseman, one year ago. Wilin Rosario also played some first.
Ryan McMahon has the chance to change the state of the position in 2018. He is graduating from the Rockies’ minor league system as a top prospect with the first base position wide open.
