Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag. Pose a Rockies- or MLB-related question for the Rockies Mailbag.
Patrick, am I crazy to be a little optimistic as hope springs eternal? With the younger players continuing to grow and the Rockies attempting to acquire more pitching depth, can they hang around in contention a little deeper into the summer this year? Or is this all just a lost cause until expansion happens and the current division format is blown up? And with rumblings of wanting another OF bat, wouldn’t that just create more of a logjam?
