Colorado Rockies: 3 simple ways to improve the offense

Play David Dahl

I was at Coors Field and watching what happened when David Dahl was inserted into the lineup. Back-to-back games with triples show not only his potential for power but speed as well. Dahl can bring a solid bat to the lineup and a threat to the plate as well. However, much like McMahon, he has to get regular playing time. The only way to do this is to put him in left field and limit the number of at-bats from Desmond and Gerardo Parra.

There is nothing wrong with having Parra and Desmond on the bench as veterans and letting the younger players get their chance to prove what they can do.

Flash back to 2016 and when Dahl was making a difference in the Rockies lineup every day. There was a reason why Rockies fans were disappointed when injuries cost him the 2017 season and there is a reason why so many asked us and other media members about his status during spring training. They know there is something special with Dahl and he has the chance to be the difference that can extend the Rockies lineup past the first three or four spots in the order.

Let Dahl play on a regular basis and see what happens to not only his batting average but also Colorado’s offense as a whole.
