First, the personnel to keep the Rockies winning appears in place.
Center fielder and leadoff man Charlie Blackmon and second baseman DJ LeMahieu, in their last winter of offseason eligibility, and third baseman Nolan Arenado, under club control through 2019, form a nice offensive and defensive nucleus.
Interestingly, the Rockies' experiment with young starting pitching in 2017 worked well enough that they are likely to stick with the young staff.
