SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Rockies' starting rotation — featuring Jorge De La Rosa, Chad Bettis, Jordan Lyles, Tyler Chatwood and Jon Gray — appears set. Despite a few hiccups, they have pitched relatively well in spring training.
Their cumulative ERA is 3.58, with Bettis (2.57) on the low end and Lyles (5.56) on the high end after a rough outing followed by a strong four innings Friday.
It's very early, of course. But the early returns are good news for general manager Jeff Bridich, who did not make any trades during the offseason to bolster the rotation, despite Colorado's 5.
