DENVER -- Rockies catcher Nick Hundley is calling on himself to do better, even though he's already had the best first half of his career. He isn't shy about applying that standard team-wide, either.
Hundley, 31, signed a two-year, $6.25 million contract this winter because of his reputation for handling pitchers. And in 66 games, he is hitting .309 with an .815 OPS -- career highs if he keeps it up. His six home runs, 15 doubles and 30 RBIs also are on pace for career bests.
But with the Rockies 39-49 and 11 games out of first place in the NL West, the conversation centers on whether it's time to trade veterans -- Hundley included -- and think about the future.
