Which Rockies hitter is more likely to emerge from his funk: Ian Desmond or Carlos Gonzalez?
Kiz: The worst kept secret in the National League? The Rockies can’t hit. Oh, I’m not talking to you, Nolan Arenado. But Colorado has $30 million invested this year in the bats of Ian Desmond and Carlos Gonzalez. The offensive wins above replacement (WAR) for Desmond is -0.9, while CarGo checks in at -0.1. Without going all nerdy numbers on you, that stinks. Manager Bud Black needs more production from both players. Which one is more likely to heat up with the weather?
