I like the current trajectory of the Colorado Rockies. They have been slowly amassing talent and all of their call-ups have been effective. They have many young position players in the minors, but they lack arms at that level. Could they flip a few of their blue chip prospects for a true ace?
Jon Gray has improved over the last two seasons, but can he be leaned up in pressure situations? Also, can the end-of-the-rotation starters hang with other team’s pitchers in the same role?
Charlie Blackmon had a career year in 2017. Can he keep up those numbers or is a regression candidate?
Here is the 2018 MLB season preview for the Colorado Rockies.
