Colorado Rockies: Breaking down the team piece by piece

Batting

I can not wait to see all the home runs hit at Coors this year. This is one of the things that brings me pure joy. The Rockies have a power house of hitters, the key though is how Bud Black places them in the lineup. Either way just expect a lot of great hits.

ESPN once again ranked the Rockies 3rd overall when it comes to batting in the MLB. This is great, but they want to be number one this year. The Rockies, altogether, hit a total of 192 home runs and 793 RBIs. With the way everyone did last year and the fact the Rox had two players in the running for NL MVP, I don’t see a problem from the naked eye.

However, if you put the Rockies under a microscope, you begin to see some of the flaws. One of those flaws is that you can’t just depend on Arenado and Blackmon to lead the pack. That’s not good enough and that’s not how you win a World Series.

When I say everyone, and I mean everyone, has to put in the maximum effort and devote all they have to this team in order to make it all the way to the top. If the Rockies can do this and develop a stride with it, there is no stopping them when it comes to their offense.
