And today, we get the team that people had high hopes for, but ended up falling short at the end of the season: the Colorado Rockies.
Biggest Additions: Ty Wigginton, Matt Lindstrom, Jose Lopez, Felipe Paulino
Biggest Subtractions: Jeff Francis, Miguel Olivo, Clint Barmes, Melvin Mora, Joe Beimel, Octavio Dotel
Offseason Review: Perhaps the best thing the Rockies did this offseason isn’t going to show up in the additions/subtractions part of their review; it was signing Tulo and CarGo to long term deals. Last season, both proved to be solid, young players that will be able to contribute for a long period of time.
Season Preview: This team isn’t going to be all that different from the team that finished 3rd in the West last season. They have some great young talent – both on the field and on the mound, but they have yet to prove themselves over the long-haul of a 162 game season. I think they’ll be a good team, and I think they’ll look a lot like they did last year.
Final Record: 83-79, 3rd in the NL West
