Ranking the Rockies: No. 40 Michael McKenry regressed, and lost his job to the future

Michael McKenry will test the free agent waters this winter after a disappointing 2015 cut short by injury.

The Colorado Rockies are in the middle of a re-build, no matter how hesitant those in charge may be to use the word. And all re-builds, regardless of the path a club may choose to take, have several things in common, including high player turnover and roster transition. Along the way, capable players become casualties of the future, in a system valuing youth as a rebuilding club attempts to attain long-term success.

Michael McKenry is a capable catcher who has lost his gig to the future, gone after being granted free agency earlier this month.
