Colorado Rockies podcast: How concerned should you be about the Rox?
In the latest Rockie Road Podcast, Rox Pile’s Jake Shapiro rings in the first show of the new year by talking about the latest with the Colorado Rockies.
From who will be the club’s starting centerfielder to have the Colorado Rockies done enough this offseason to make it back-to-back-to-back playoff appearances, “Shap” covers all the bases.
Most interesting may have been a-way-too-early win projection and how the Rockies will fare in a new look National League West. With the Dodgers still kings but D-Backs and Giants fading/accepting their fate, how will the Rockies react?
The latest on Nolan Arenado and extension talks as he enters his contract year is discussed. How much will Manny Machado and Bryce Harper figure into Arenado’s wallet?
Larry Walker and Todd Helton‘s Hall of Fame candidacies are discussed. Which player would Shap enshrine in Cooperstown first?
