Opening Day has happened and baseball is officially back. The Colorado Rockies are in a special position, looking to build on the success from the previous two seasons, and looking for more sustained production from their young squad.

The Colorado Rockies find themselves in a truly unique position. The franchise is coming off back-to-back playoff appearances and will look to continue building on the growth from the past two seasons.
