PHOENIX, AZ — On Friday Purple Row’s Jordan Freemyer posted an article detailing Rockies GM Jeff Bridich’s apparent philosophy when it comes to the team’s young hitters. We quoted a portion of what Bridich told Jerry Crasnick of ESPN in an interview about DJ LeMahieu and his possible return next season:
”We’re taking things step by step, because you never know what can happen. We very much believe in the abilities of [Rodgers and Hampson] and even more guys in our system. But we’re not in the business of gifting opportunities to young players just because they happen to be in the organization.
