If there was ever a time the Colorado Rockies entered a rebuild, 2012 was it. The Rockies played the long-term game; years later, they won.
Colorado lost 98 games in 2012, the worst mark in franchise history. 49-year-old Jamie Moyer started the second game of the season. Jeremy Guthrie was the Opening Day starter and posted a 6.35 ERA before a trade to Kansas City. Jorge De La Rosa rehabbed from Tommy John surgery. Troy Tulowitzki’s season ended in May when he needed groin surgery.
