The Rockies are third baseman Nolan Arenado's team now. He's the new face of the franchise, which will make it easier for shortstop Troy Tulowitzki to slip out the side door of the Colorado clubhouse.
Oh, fans at Coors Field still chant Tulo's name. But, with increasing frequency, Arenado is the player who elicits the loudest cheers when he's introduced.
Tulowitzki and Arenado are the best reasons to watch baseball in LoDo.
If the Rockies were serious about making a World Series run this year and every year, there would never be a reason to break up Arenado and Tulo, kindred spirits who both bring Gold Gloves, bats with thump and passion for the game every day they go to work.
