The next Rockie on our list is another long-time Minnesota Twin who won a batting title in Colorado. While Cuddyer debuted in 2001 with the Twins, he seemed to get better as he got older. Ten years after his debut, he made the All-Star game for the first time in his career.
That may have been a large factor in the Rockies decision to sign Cuddyer to a three-year $31.5 million deal. While Justin Morneau wore the double three, Cuddyer wore three to honor his mentor Harmon Killebrew. Cuddyer’s phenomenal signature is one of the lasting legacies of the Hall of Fame Killebrew.
