Welcome to the 2017 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at the in-season contributions of every player to don the purple this past season. The goal wasn’t and isn’t to quibble with order. Instead, it’s to get a snapshot of a player along with a look forward. For that reason, we simply sorted by Baseball-Reference’s Wins Above Replacement (rWAR) and will start at the bottom and end up at the top.
No. 41, Alexi Amarista (-1.4 rWAR)
Nicknamed the Little Ninja, presumably because of his diminutive height and for the elusiveness of his offensive weapons, Alexi Amarista is a favorite of new manager Bud Black from his days managing the Padres.
