Rockies infielders sparkled on the diamond and produced at the plate in 2018 — with one big exception.
It’s possible that third baseman Nolan Arenado, with a 5.6 WAR (wins over replacement), shortstop Trevor Story (5.6 WAR) and second baseman DJ LeMahieu (3.0 WAR) could all win Gold Gloves.
The exception was first baseman Ian Desmond (-0.6 WAR) who had some big moments at the plate and improved his defense a bit, but produced a slash line of .236/.307/.422 that was much less than you’d expect from a player whose $22 million salary was the highest on the club.
