The only things that have stuck so far are call-ups David Dahl and Noel Cuevas, but that’s only two guys on the bench. Colorado can’t just depend on these two men to carry that entire bench, but at this rate that’s what’ll be happen until the end of the season. 

I’d like to say the real concerns started, in my opinion, back when they re-signed Carlos Gonzalez. This guy struggled all of 2017 and then towards then of the season he picked up his game. Honestly that was too little too late especially being that it was a contract season. Though the front office went against their better judgment and signed him for reasons we all know why. Now they have Cargo in the lineup playing the exact same way as last season.

Though in the eyes of some it’s okay, but only when he randomly hits a home run then it’s vintage Carlos Gonzalez and all is forgiven while he trots the bases. The double-standard for this guy is uncanny though perhaps it won’t linger as we get closer to the end of the season. Hopefully his bat finds some life because the way I see it there isn’t anything that he can or in this case can’t do for him to be benched.
