Colorado Rockies: 4 interesting Wade Davis press conference quotes

New Colorado Rockies closer Wade Davis met the Denver media, including Rox Pile, for the first time on Tuesday afternoon during a conference call. Over the course of 15-plus minutes, Davis covered a variety of topics, ranging from his long-time relationship with fellow Rockies reliever Jake McGee to jokingly reassuring those on the call that his past injury issues are well behind him.

After signing the largest contract a Major League reliever has ever inked, Davis comes to Colorado with a big responsibility on his shoulders. He is the high-priced centerpiece of a rebuilt back end of the Rockies bullpen that will look to follow up on the success laid down last season by the departed Pat Neshek and Greg Holland.
