Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.
Patrick, why does it seem that the Rockies are reluctant to promote some of their top prospects to the active roster? The Orioles and Pirates, two teams struggling, both recently called up prospects to inject some life into their respective lineups and also their fan bases. With the Rockies’ offense struggling and Kris Bryant on the injured list, it seems this team is in desperate need of a slugger like Elehuris Montero to provide a spark.
Or since Hilliard and Hampson have struggled all season, why not call up Ezequiel Tovar and move Iglesias to a utility role and give another outfielder, such as Ryan Vilade, a chance to prove himself?
