SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Predictions are rolling in for the 2023 major league season. For your Colorado Rockies, doom and gloom is the nearly universal forecast.
Consider:
• Jayson Stark, the Hall of Fame baseball writer for The Athletic, surveyed a panel of 29 executives, former executives, coaches and scouts. Of those 29 experts, 25 said that the Rockies were the least-improved team in the majors. Keep in mind that the Rockies lost 94 games last season.
• Baseball Prospectus’ PECOTA rankings have the Rockies finishing 64-98 and in last place again in the National League West.
