The Colorado Rockies began the season with a 3-12 record, the worst start in the franchise’s 27-year history. Lately, they have played well enough to have worked their way back to a respectable (yet, still somewhat disappointing having lost the last three games) record of 13-17.
With the many ups and downs the Rockies have faced, it has been extremely difficult for Bud Black to find consistency from day to day. However, there is one area in which he has been able to put his complete trust in: the bullpen.
With no real standout player in the first month of the season, the award for the early season MVP has to go to the bullpen as a whole.
