Flash forward to the offseason of 2015 — I can’t remember the last time I have been less optimistic about a Rockies’ club since who knows when, even prior to the 2012 season which was pretty bad. Many of us Rockies’ faithful have been stating the obvious over the last few seasons: “If Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki stay healthy, we will be competitive.” Wrong.
CarGo and Tulo stayed relatively healthy for the most part during the 2015 season, yet it didn’t make that much of a difference for a Rockies’ club desperately lacking pitching.
