Colorado Rockies 3B Nolan Arenado is really good at baseball

Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez, long the two faces of the Colorado Rockies organization from a player perspective, weren't in the lineup on Memorial Day. Truth be told, they haven't been too good -- this season, at least -- even when they have been on the field.

That's why, when Walt Weiss' lineup for the Rockies series opener against the Cincinnati Reds was unveiled, I wasn't as ... um, hesitant? ... as I ordinarily would be upon seeing Ben Paulsen hitting cleanup with Wilin Rosario and Brandon Barnes hitting directly behind him (in addition to Daniel Descalso's presence on the card).
