CHICAGO — The Colorado Rockies have struck gold in first baseman C.J. Cron. Cron has, arguably, been the Rockies best first baseman since the retirement of franchise legend Todd Helton after the 2013 season. The only real argument would be Justin Morneau’s lone full season with the Rockies when he replaced Helton in 2014.
