Manager Bud Black says young Rockies no longer “in awe”

Bud Black says young, improving Rockies ‘aren’t in awe’ of the majors anymore | Mile High Sports
Rockies Manager Bud Black recently expressed his confidence in a young roster taking steps forward in the 2018 season. For young pitchers German Marquez, Antonio Senzatela, Kyle Freeland, and Jeff Hoffman, Black notes that they are no longer “in awe of big-league hotels, flights…Now, they can concentrate on getting better and improving.” Not only is big league experience necessary for the former rookies, but Black also notes more established players like Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon, and DJ LeMahieu gained valuable postseason experience, even with just the one National League Wild Card Game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2017.
