The forecast is decidedly unsettled as the Rockies open spring training for the second time under general manager Jeff Bridich. Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is long gone, traded to Toronto in July. His replacement, Jose Reyes, who failed to impress in 47 games with Colorado, faces an uncertain future because of his offseason arrest in Hawaii for alleged domestic violence. The Rockies surprised many by signing outfielder Gerardo Parra to a three-year, $27.5 million contract, and also by not trading Carlos Gonzalez. They did ship young slugger Corey Dickerson to Tampa Bay in exchange for left-handed reliever Jake McGee.
