The Rockies announced the results of fan voting for the club’s all-time 25-man roster. For voting, there are two players at each offensive position as well as a utility guy. For pitchers, there are five starting pitchers and three relievers. Here’s the list:
First base: Todd Helton (a huge shock there) and Andres Galarraga
Second base: DJ LeMahieu and Eric Young Sr.
Third base: Nolan Arenado (another huge shocker there) and Vinny Castilla
Shortstop: Troy Tulowitzki (again, not shocking) and Walt Weiss
Left field: Carlos Gonzalez and Matt Holliday
Center Field: Charlie Blackmon and Dexter Fowler
Right Field: Larry Walker and Dante Bichette
Utility Man (write-in): Ellis Burks
Starting Pitchers: Ubaldo Jimenez, Jorge De La Rosa, Aaron Cook, Jeff Francis, Pedro Astacio (in order of how many votes they received)
Relief Pitchers: Brian Fuentes, Huston Street, Matt Belisle (also in order of how many votes they received)
Interesting notes on the voting
For the outfielders, the Rockies selected the top six in fan voting and assigned them to a respective outfield position.
