The Reality
Obviously, the main reality here is that there’s no way the Colorado Rockies call up all ten of these guys; nevertheless, I’d love to see a handful of them in Denver this September as the club figures out who they might be able to add to the bullpen in 2016.
And considering how bad the bullpen has nearly almost always been for the Rockies, it’s never a bad thing to figure out who among this group is semi-legit and good enough to keep in AAA next year if they don’t make the big league club, effectively functioning as bullpen depth (like what Scott Oberg, Kenny Roberts, and Tommy Kahnle ended up doing for the Isotopes and then Rockies this year).
Who do you think will be in the Colorado Rockies’ pen this September when rosters expand?
