With Opening Day just around the corner, it’s time to look at where the Colorado Rockies rank up in payroll and salary throughout the league. Deadspin did a nice piece this morning, rounding up every teams salary and payroll; including players from top to bottom on the roster. The Colorado Rockies are currently 17th in the league sitting at a payroll of $95,832,071 to begin the 2014 season. This comes to a surprise as Colorado hasn’t been much of a spending team the past couple of years. They usually hovered around the 22-27 ranking in the past few seasons. Here is the complete list via TablePress.

As for the Colorado Rockies as a whole, it’s no surprise that all-star shortstop and gold glover Troy Tulowitzki is the highest paid player earning $16,000,000 this season. Once more, here is the complete list of Colorado’s player salaries.
