Colorado Rockies: Being in first place doesn’t matter right now

Of course, everyone is still going to keep celebrating that Colorado is finally the top team. However, there are still a plethora of problems that have yet to be addressed. For instance, Ian Desmond is the elephant in the room we talk about quite a lot at Rox Pile. He’s an underperforming starter and the Rockies don’t show any intentions on changing his dynamic anytime soon. Having a guy like Desmond who has a current slashline of .181/.234/.374 isn’t really helping the team. Because of this, it’s hard to not see him being even more a liability later down the road if he doesn’t have a turn around.
