The Rockies have seen 5 2⁄3 innings of relief pitching from Alex Colomé, an offseason pickup from the Twins. His ERA sits in the sixes; his WHIP is above two. Six other Rockies relievers have thrown more than he has in this early season, but only one (Daniel Bard) is making more this year than the $4.1 million Colomé will receive.
He takes plenty of time between pitches. Rockies fans have a lot of time to think with Colomé’s slow and deliberate working pace on the mound, which only magnifies some early season thoughts.
