MESA, Ariz. — Manager Bud Black and the Rockies’ front office have some difficult decisions on the near horizon.
With opening day 11 days away, roster verdicts have to be made regarding catcher, bullpen and the bench. Perhaps the most difficult decision will be behind the plate, where three players — Chris Iannetta, Tony Wolters and Tom Murphy — are competing for two spots.
Wolters, who continues to shine defensively, started Sunday’s game vs. the Cubs and made two strong throws to second. Murphy, though not as skilled behind the plate as Wolters, has big-time power.
