Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers can’t break out for breaking down.
B-Rod is broken. Again. At age 26, Rodgers’ much-anticipated breakout major-league baseball season could be over before it begins, put in jeopardy by a shoulder injury the team fears could require surgery and months of rehab, removing his bat from a Colorado lineup already decidedly lacking in offensive punch.
The oft-injured prospect the Rockies have been touting as their next big thing for years is back on the shelf, sitting next to franchise owner Dick Monfort’s impossible dream of this team playing .500 baseball.
Good luck with all that, Dick.
