Fans of the Colorado Rockies are frequently told that the team’s farm system ranks among the worst in the league. I’ve long contended the opposite: the Rockies have a good but very bottom heavy farm system with tons of interesting talent. Just yesterday the Rockies internally promoted a handful of promising prospects throughout their farm. Fans may be less familiar with the young men involved in this surge of recent promotions, but there’s a ton of promise there. Of the nine players involved in some kind of promotion, activation, or transaction on Wednesday, six were ranked in our preseason PuRPs evaluations, and four were in our top 30!
