It seems safe to say that having four starters and hoping a fifth appears from the prospects or the bullpen isn’t working out for the Rockies. This becomes even more risky when one of the four starters is Jon Gray, who’s been unreliable, struggling with command and injuries (shoulder inflammation in 2020 and a fractured foot in 2019) the last two seasons. In 2020, Gray finished with a 2-4 record and a 6.69 ERA in eight starts. Maybe he’ll be able to rebound in 2021. Even then, the rotation is still incomplete.
Rockies need another starter; how about Kevin Gausman?
