Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.
With the performances from Connor Joe, Brendan Rodgers and C.J. Cron this year, will the Rockies have only one bat they’ll need to replace when Trevor Story leaves? Between the starters and the rest of the lineup, I feel like the future could be bright.

Merritt, I hope I understand the gist of your question. I think the Rockies are going to need to do more than just replace Story.
Cron comes the closest to filling Story’s shoes (we’re talking about Story in his normal years, not this down cycle).
