Editor's note: First of a week-long series breaking down the Rockies' roster heading into the offseason. Today: the starting pitching.
Last November, at baseball's annual general managers meetings at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, newly hired Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich spelled out the team's top priority.
"We absolutely, 100 percent need to address our rotation," Bridich said.
Ninety-four losses later, nothing has changed. In fact, the numbers show that Colorado's starting rotation actually regressed from 2014 to 2015. If the Rockies are to make strides — even baby steps — toward becoming competitive, their starting pitching must improve significantly.
