Keeler: For $182 million, Rockies don’t just need Kris Bryant to bash. They need him to be their Russell Wilson.

Any advice for Russell Wilson, I asked Kris Bryant as he turned to leave the scribes Thursday, on tackling Friday’s first pitch?

“Umm, give me a jersey,” the new face of the Rockies said of the new face of the Broncos. “Signed.”

With that, Bryant resumed his gait. And promptly, accidentally smacked his $182-million mug into the nearest door.

“Where’s the door (handle)?” Bryant asked with a laugh.

Happy opening day!

We kid, we kid. Bryant, 30, is one of the game’s good guys. But the Rockies don’t just need their new slugger to find the door.
