I’ll start wrapping things up with two other characteristics from Lord Vader.

First, let’s go with the voice. While he’s certainly no James Earl Jones, give me Ian Desmond for this role. Desmond has one of those calm and collected voices but there is also plenty of intent behind what he says when he says something.

Second, Darth Vader is certainly known for choking plenty of people. “I find your lack of faith disturbing” is one of his most well-known lines as he made his presence and power felt in Episode IV: A New Hope. Just one motion of the hand can bring on a choking noise in his enemies.

Choking … as a characteristic … with the Rockies? I’ll let you decide which member of the bullpen you’d like to put into that role.
