2018 Colorado Rockies roster breakdown: The stats and names that matter for opening day | The Denver Post ($)
Nick Groke of The Denver Post breaks down the 30 candidates left for the final Opening Day roster of 25. Each player is given a stat that matters (OPS+, on-base percentage, batting average with RISP, etc.) for Opening Day.
Groke’s lineup is probably an exact representation of what we’ll be seeing on a regular basis (at least to begin the year), which may draw the ire of many Rockies fans: Charlie Blackmon CF, DJ LeMahieu 2B, Nolan Arenado 3B, Carlos Gonzalez RF, Trevor Story SS, Ian Desmond 1B, Gerardo Parra LF, and Chris Iannetta C.
