With Spring Training fast approaching, it seems almost certain the Colorado Rockies will not make any major additions or subtractions with the current 40-man roster. After an exciting offseason, the roster looks very different and could see some big time names make a much larger impact this season.
The list was compiled by asking the contributors at Rox Pile to rank the current Rockies 40-man roster from top to bottom based on their potential impact on the team during the 2017 season. After all players were ranked from 1-40, the total scores were added up and the total number of points determined a player’s rank.
Though some current non-roster players have previously been mentioned as candidates to break Spring Training as part of the 40-man roster, they were not included for consideration in the rankings.
As the season draws nearer, many of the tough decisions regarding the final few spots on the 25-man roster will involve the players in this section of the rankings. Some players have spent considerable time with the big league club while others are looking to make an impact for the first time. Let’s take a look at the newest ranking!
