Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders posts his Rockies Mailbag every other week on Tuesdays during the season.
After a couple of games, I am already concerned about the bullpen’s work load. With the young and inexperienced starting staff, I don’t see many chances to eat up innings and keep the bullpen fresh. Do you see the Rockies carrying an extra arm in the pen every now and then throughout the year, especially with Greg Holland and Adam Ottavino coming back from previous injuries?

Aaron: I agree that the bullpen’s workload is a potential concern, especially now that Jon Gray has joined Chad Bettis as a missing starter.
