The Colorado Rockies’ opening day roster for 2016 will look slightly different than the previous year, withJose Reyes,Mark ReynoldsandGerardo Parrajoining the team. Moreover, the Colorado Rockies recently parted ways withCorey Dickerson, giving Parra the starting nod in right field. DespiteBen Paulsenspending a good portion of last season starting at first base, the Colorado Rockies may deploy a platoon at first, with Reynolds and Paulsen switching off.
Also, for the first time in almost a decade, the Colorado Rockies will be withoutTroy Tulowitzkion opening day, with the slugger being dealt mid-season to the Blue Jays. However, the Colorado Rockies managed to keepCarlos Gonzalez, despite all the rumors surrounding is imminent departure. With Gonzalez andNolan Arenadostill in Denver, the Colorado Rockies will have a solid lineup, but the pitching lags behind.
The Colorado Rockies were one of the most prolific offenses in the MLB, and many will point out that it has to do with their home field. Although the Colorado Rockies do play in hitter-friendly Coors Field, it is their home park, and people will have to live with the facts. So, with Spring Training nearly underway, let us look at what the Colorado Rockies’ lineup might look like heading into the 2016 season.
