Colorado Rockies History: Wilin Rosario or Jeff Reed at Catcher?

About a month ago, we released our all-time Colorado Rockies 25-man roster. Trust us, it wasn’t easy to whittle the list down to 25 names. We knew we would be leaving some players off and opening ourselves up to debate about who belonged and who should stay in the dugout. You can see the 25 players we picked on our roster by clicking here.

Earlier this week, our sister site at Call to the Pen released its version of the all-time Colorado Rockies 25-man roster. OK, fine. Looks like it’s time we compare notes and see where the differences lie in the two rosters. You can see their version by clicking here.

In all, our two rosters shared 21 of the 25 names. We only differed on four selections. This is the first of four articles that will let you decide which player is more deserving to be on the all-time 25-man roster.

We’ll start today behind the plate. Both Call to the Pen and Rox Pile tabbed Chris Iannetta as a catcher who belonged on the 25-man roster. However, after that, we differed. We took Jeff Reed while Call to the Pen selected Wilin Rosario.

On the following pages, we’ll lay out the arguments for and against each player and let you decide who was more deserving of the all-time honor. Then we’ll ask you to let us know your comments below.
