Daniel Murphy, if healthy, should have an excellent season. He could have one of the world-famous Coors Field bump years and win the batting title. He’s already hit a combined .326 over the last three seasons and a couple extra Coors Field singles and doubles could see him hitting well over .330.

The biggest breakout is obvious, it’s David Dahl. If this man can stay healthy he will be an All-Star. Over a 162 game pace, Dahl was scheduled for about 34 home runs and 100 RBI last year. Take this with a grain of salt, but the point id that Dahl has a chance to be special and he’s finally going to get his chance. The Rockies will have a chance to have three 20/20 players in 2019 with Desmond, Dahl and Story and if Charlie Blackmon is feeling devious, he can steal 20 as well. Like I said, the offense will be fine, as always.

The Rockies can win 95+ games, they have the players to do so, but I think that the catcher position will come back and bite them and the improvement of the rest of the National League will make it much tougher. They probably won’t win as many close games this year and that will drop the total to around 87-90.

They will be in contention all year and their playoff dreams will be decided in the last nine games of the year with series against the Dodgers, Giants and Brewers.
