I’m a sucker for nostalgia, so I began reading through it as the Cubs-focused publication broke down some of the key weapons in the Rockies lineup (iconic names like Todd Helton, Larry Walker, Dante Bichette and Vinny Castilla). They also talked about some of the problems in the Colorado rotation and the struggles that Darryl Kile and Pedro Astacio were going through.
A powerful Colorado lineup that was handcuffed by pitching problems? Yes, this is 1999 I was reading about, not recent campaigns.
However, there was a line in the article where the writer was lamenting the lack of speed for the Rockies.
