As the Colorado Rockies trudge towards their seemingly inevitable first 100-loss season, the organization needed to make tough decisions.

The young guns like Hunter Goodman, Nolan Jones, and even Elehuris Montero are finally getting consistent playing time. While it took the Rockies far too long, they even parted ways with struggling veteran Jurickson Profar in August.
However, there is one move the organization has yet to pull the trigger on: releasing utilityman Harold Castro.
