The extra man will add some intrigue this season, especially for the Colorado Rockies who have needed fresh bullpen arms in the past after dealing with the run-scoring games and altitude effects that Coors Field can level against a pitching staff.
Colorado has had the luxury in the past of using some of the minor league options as a way to keep players bouncing between Triple-A Albuquerque and Denver. It has not only allowed for fresh arms to be called up when needed but also allowed some of the younger arms who have needed more development time to find that in the minors.
