SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Rockies will start 2018 with a lineup quite similar to the one they went with in '17. That's not bad, considering the Rockies made their first postseason appearance since '09.
If Charlie Blackmon, DJ LeMahieu and Nolan Arenado turn in more All-Star years, Carlos Gonzalez and Trevor Story rebound from slumps and Ian Desmond (hand, right calf) and Gerardo Parra (right quadriceps) avoid injuries, the Rockies could be even more potent.
