Led by Cy Young candidate Kyle Freeland, the franchise’s single-season strikeout record holder, German Marquez, the continued development of youngsters Antonio Senzatela and Tyler Anderson, and hopefully a bounce-back season from Jon Gray, the Colorado Rockies‘ rotation looks like it already could be set.
This leaves Chad Bettis and Jeff Hoffman on the outside looking to crack the rotation. Hoffman would likely start the season in the bullpen as a long reliever since he spent a portion of last season in that role.
