Matt Kemp’s ability to rake at Coors Field is well established. We correctly predicted he would not make the list and Jeff Bridich confirmed this in a press conference on Monday. There was a lot of anticipation about whether or not Ubaldo Jiménez would make the list after having been invited to Spring Training for a comeback to the big leagues. But for me, it reinforces the point that the Rockies have the potential to have a strong 60-game season, and the Rockies’ 5-1 win over the Rangers last night has everyone feeling hopeful. But first professional bumps followed a promotion to Class A Advanced Lancaster, where the southpaw put up a 4.87 ERA in 22 California League outings. In fact, the three players the Rockies signed in 2020 to improve the team (Kemp, Elias Díaz, and Chris Owings) have the worst fWAR in 60-game stretches. If the 2019 Hilliard is what Rockies fans can expect going forward, there’s reason to be excited, especially with the 26-year-old one of only five outfielders listed on the Rockies’ initial group (although Hampson sees considerable OF time).
Prior to the originally scheduled Opening Day, Dick Monfort said he believes the Rockies are capable of winning 94 games. First, historically, what have been the best (and worst) 60-game stretches for Rockies hitters on the 2020 roster? Based on what we know from these players’ past histories, at least for the power hitters, 20 home runs is a realistic goal, though it would mean Blackmon, Arenado, Story, and Kemp would have to exceed their best seasons—and perhaps in a shortened season with less travel in and out of elevation, they will be positioned to do that. The Club Player Pool is a list of up to 60 players, composed of the 40-man roster and a “taxi squad” of 20 players.

Colorado's 60-player pool isn't quite as prospect heavy as some organizations, but the promising up-and-comers it does include are in key positions. What does the future hold for the 36-year-old catcher? Yesterday, Ian Desmond released a statement on Instagram stating he will not be playing in 2020, as reported by Purple Row’s Ben Kouchnerkavich. Our prediction made use of all 60 spots initially, and it’s mainly the spots that we expected to be filled by top prospects (Michael Toglia, Terrin Vavra, Colton Welker, etc.) Infielder Rodgers leads group of Colorado reinforcements, Brendan Rodgers played in 25 big league games before suffering a torn right labrum last year. We know that 2020 is going to be weird, a shortened season in which baseball finds itself in a sprint, not the usual marathon. Perhaps that’s changing. Some players have already begun to announce their decision to opt out. Daza is an efficient and speedy outfielder who combines a 55-grade run tool with a 65 grade in the field and a 70 arm. A 2018 MiLB.com Organization All-Star, Josh Fuentes has some positional versatility at third and first and made his big league debut last year. Because players like Blackmon, Kemp, and Murphy have been in baseball for so long, they’ve had more opportunities to have good 60-game stretches. Had the 2017 season -- the Rockies’ first of back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time in franchise history -- ended after 60 games, Colorado would’ve done something it’s never done: won the National League West. But on the flip side of that, when he was bad, it was very bad, as in -1.5 fWAR. Here’s a look at the Rockies’ walk-up songs for the shortened 2020 season: There’s still a possibility that Welker gets the call with eight spots still available. He split time between Double-A Hartford and Triple-A Albuquerque in 2019. Joe Burrow leads the field and an undrafted sensation cracks the top 10 in Daniel Jeremiah's ranking of the 25 best rookies through Week 4 of the 2020 season. It’s also worth noting that Wolters, Tapia, and McMahon had some bad periods in 2019. Sam Hilliard, OF: Hilliard turned lots of heads with his brilliant 27-game cameo at the big league level that concluded the 2019 season. Statistics are updated nightly Still, the Maracay, Venezuela, native boasts a .318/.359/.438 career line in the Minors and provides a stellar defensive option for Colorado on the grass. There were a few notable snubs and surprises.
In addition, relatively new players, like Garrett Hampson and Raimel Tapia, have had fewer opportunities, both to get practice and to play in MLB games. Following up on decision not to invite Ubaldo Jimenez back, #Rockies Jeff Bridich said it was the team's decision. The Rockies are set on the left side of the infield with one of baseball’s best duos in shortstop Trevor Story and third baseman Nolan Arenado.
