Colorado Rockies: Predicting the lineup as the new year looms

This Colorado Rockies roster could certainly change before then – as most of us hope and pray it does – but it’s never too early (or fun) to speculate about lineup construction!

There is little ambiguity among Opening Day starters. In the outfield are Charlie Blackmon, David Dahl and Ian Desmond. In the infield, Nolan Arenado is at third, Trevor Story at shortstop and newly signed Daniel Murphy will take over at first base.

There is more uncertainty at second base, where Ryan McMahon is the favorite to start over Garrett Hampson.
