Something is missing from the Rockies.
A Hall-of-Fame third basemen? Yes.
A GM with a plan? Yes.
An owner who lets a baseball expert be the president and run day-to-day operations? Yes.
An analytics team that is mighty in resources and numbers and is not asked to do laundry? Yes.
A lineup that can get on base? Yes.
A bullpen that can hold a lead? Yes.
Ok, ok. So, there’s actually a lot missing. That list can go on for a depressingly long time, but those things are not the missing elements I want to focus on right now.
