The Rockies signed four players in the offseason as a part of a rebuild of their 40-man roster. Ian Desmond was brought on board to be the team’s first baseman while Mike Dunn and Greg Holland were inked to bolster the bullpen. The fourth signing, however, is the one that perhaps shines light on Colorado’s next spot to be improved.
When Alexi Amarista was signed, it certainly brought versatility to the team. However, it didn’t bring a lot of offensive pop. The utility man, who new manager Bud Black knows well from their days together with the San Diego Padres, can play infield or outfield when needed.
