As the season gets underway, RoxPile.com is making some fun (but completely unqualified!) predictions about how members of the Colorado Rockies will fare this summer. In this edition: Charlie Culberson.
Charlie Culberson spent the entire season in the big leagues last year, sticking on the Colorado Rockies bench despite failing to hit all year long and finishing with a completely ineffective slash line (.195/.253/.290) and peripherals (62:12 strikeout to walk ratio and a 26.6% strikeout rate in just 233 plate appearances).
Now, he finds himself beginning the season on the 60-day disabled list as he rehabilitates from a back injury, having lost his active roster spot to switch-hitting Rafael Ynoa and newcomer Daniel Descalso.
