The Rockies are approaching the ever-present problem of pitching at Coors Field with a new vision, adapting from the strict emphasis on the sinker/two-seamer to looking for guys who can make their pitch regardless of type and who are mentally tough enough to handle the inevitable adversities of pitching at altitude. The 2017 rotation will be built around four guys who bring different looks to the table in Jon Gray, Tyler Anderson, Chad Bettis, and Tyler Chatwood, while Bridich has stated that he'll be looking to upgrade the bullpen after another poor year from the group.
Rumors continue to swirl linking Trumbo and the Colorado Rockies, but whether those rumors are based on substantiated evidence of serious interest or just logic in the fit remain to be seen.
