The Tony Wolters catching era is over. After four years with the Rockies, the front office decided to non-tender him last Wednesday. (For more on what he, David Dahl and Chi Chi González meant to the club, check out Joelle Milholm’s Friday Rockpile.)
With Wolters gone, there’s now a big mustache-sized hole behind the plate. After Elias Díaz re-signed with the team last week, he figures to be Wolters’ heir apparent, especially since he seemed to unofficially take over the starting role late last season.
But even with Díaz, the Rockies don’t have much proven depth at catcher.
