2012

The Rockies were not a good team at all in 2012, as they ended up going 64-98. As you may expect with a team that is that bad, they only had one All-Star in Carlos Gonzalez, who started as the NL’s DH.

His teammate in the outfield, center fielder Dexter Fowler, also had numbers that could have made him an All-Star.

1st Half 81 292 250 45 75 11 9 11 36 7 37 73 .300 .389 .548 .937 .383 157

The only real possible guy who could have also been considered was Rafael Betancourt (2.84 ERA) but with only 15 saves, he wasn’t one of the league’s top closers.

2013

2013 was an interesting year for the Rockies and the All Star game. They ended up going 74-88 on the season, so it was not particularly good but they had three All-Stars…and all three were in the starting lineup (Troy Tulowitzki at shortstop, Carlos Gonzalez in left field, and Michael Cuddyer as DH).

The Rockies did have two players in their pitching corps that could have been named All-Stars.

The first one is starter Jhoulys Chacin, who after an injury plagued 2012 season, had a good 2013 season.

The other is lefty reliever Rex Brothers. Even though his tenure with the Rockies ended up being short lived and not great, the first half of the 2013 season was very successful for him.
