That can be an appropriate response. The Colorado Rockies have a lot of young talent and, if they want to trust them with their future, I’m all for it. But that’s the problem. They don’t seem to trust them.
I say that because whenever a position opens up (aside from pitching), the Rockies tend to pass over their young players in favor of overpaid, underperforming, aging veterans. The result is past lists of top prospects who barely got a chance at the big league level.
I know that accusation might sound out of place for a team that is almost entirely home-grown, but the talent is within the system for the team to be even better … and it’s been there for a few years.
