Apologies – I’m busy with family this weekend, and haven’t had quite as much time to post Colorado Rockies news. Everything will be back to normal Monday!

In the mean time, though, let’s ask another poll, since our last one brought some interesting results and a good Twitter discussion.

I like asking poll questions – and hearing from you guys on Twitter – because it’s more fun to know what fans are thinking and how you guys see the team, rather than writing about my own opinions ad nauseam.

So here’s today’s poll:

You’ve seen each pitcher (well, besides De La Rosa) take a couple of turns through the rotation, and while the season still has a long ways to go, who’s throwing the best and who will throw the best this summer?

My money is on a dark horse: Jordan Lyles. He won’t be flashy and he won’t be an “ace” by baseball standards, but I’m bullish on him winning 15 games and establishing himself this season.

But, hey, what the hell do I know?

Anyways, tweet us @RoxPileFS or me personally @BobbyDeMuro and let me know who you think is going to be the rotation’s MVP this year.

Much more content coming tomorrow, and then normally throughout the week. It’s been fun to go to the games here in L.A. as a fan and just enjoy the team (Kendrick’s rough outing Friday night, aside).
