What to look forward to for 2019
The Rockies have fallen way below expectations for the 2019 season, and the writers at Mile High Sports are taking a look at how things have broken down for this team. They start out with who has been the most surprising this year. The first couple answers are pitchers, with Jon Gray exceeding expectations and Kyle Freeland falling below them. Tony Wolters has also been a pleasant surprise, as the Rockies have struggled to find someone reliable in the catcher’s position. Wolters has more than done his job, working hard and showing how much he can do. The next question is a tough one, with which player has been the most disappointing. Kyle Freeland made the list again, with his performance on the year falling far below his performance last year. Wade Davis has also been a let down, falling apart at Coors Field. They end with optimism and hope for the rest of the year, though. If we can continue to see young players emerging on the scene, giving some of the veterans rest and keeping up spirits, that’s about as good as it can get for the 2019 Rockies.
