For all of the criticism lobbed at the Colorado Rockies front office over the years (much of it deserved), one thing they have consistently done well is identify and develop talented outfielders. From the early years of Dante Bichette and Larry Walker, to the “Rocktober” run led by Matt Holliday, to the current day, there’s a tradition of outstanding outfield play in Colorado.
That tradition is as strong as ever; the Rockies currently have one of deepest and most talented group of outfielders in MLB. They have a pair of young phenoms in David Dahl and Raimel Tapia, an emerging star in Charlie Blackmon, and an established star in Carlos Gonzalez.
