SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Playoffs? The Rockies are talking playoffs. But what the heck do the Rockies actually know about making the playoffs?
The answer: Nothing.
Talent abounds on the Colorado roster. But scan the roster, from outfielder Carlos Gonzalez to relief pitcher Greg Holland, and playoff experience is barely a footnote.
Among significant everyday players, the Rockies have 30 career hits in the postseason. Total. Ian Desmond, Mark Reynolds and Gonzalez know a little of the pressure of walking to the batter’s box in October. But only a little.
And pitching?
