In Thursday’s game against the Oakland A’s, Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black rolled out his 1-through-4 batting order with David Dahl leading off, followed by Trevor Story, Charlie Blackmon, and Nolan Arenado hitting cleanup.
It is extremely early in spring training, and Black will use camp to experiment with his lineup. But is this batting order something we should expect to see when the Rockies open up regular-season play in San Diego on March 26?
Personally, I am huge believer in a batting order that features a left-right-left batter throughout the order.
