Rockies signed much more than a baseball player in Ian Desmond

Faith and Flexibility: A bumpy 2017 won’t keep Ian Desmond from doing it all | Mile High Sports
You will recall that during the 2016-2017 offseason, the Colorado Rockies signed Ian Desmond to a five year, $70 million contract. Less than 20 plate appearances into the 2018 campaign campaign, we are seeing better results than we did from Desmond in 2017. Some regression is inevitable—Desmond isn’t going to come close to the all-time single-season home run record that he is on pace for, but he is at least elevating the ball at a more promising level than he did in his inaugural Rockies campaign.
