A modest platoon proposal for the Colorado Rockies

Photo by Rachel ODriscoll/Colorado Rockies/ Colorado Rockies News and Notes for Tuesday, March 12, 2024 We’ve spent considerable time pondering the Colorado Rockies’ proposed “six-man platoon.” Last winter, Skyler Timmins provided a nice explanation: Black essentially pinpointed that he views first base, right field, and designated hitter as all intertwined. Specifically, it’s almost being viewed as a six-man rotation platoon for those three positions for the following players on the roster: Kris Bryant 1B/RF/DH Charlie Blackmon DH/RF Michael Toglia...

State of the Position, 2024: Outfield

Photo by Dustin Bradford/ Jones and Doyle became starters last year. Can they stay? And who will join them this year? Can you name the Colorado Rockies starting outfielders on Opening Day in 2023? I would have definitely gotten it wrong. From left to right, Harold Castro, Yonathan Daza and Kris Bryant made up the outfield on March 30 in San Diego. Jurickson Profar, who was signed nine days before the season started, took over for Castro in left by the fourth game. Of the four, only Bryant is still with the team, and he’s transitioning back to the infield and is...

Wednesday Rockpile: Making sense of Kris Bryant’s comments

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Colorado Rockies news and links for Wednesday, March 6, 2024 Does Kris Bryant regret signing with the Colorado Rockies?

State of the Position, 2024: First Base

Photo by John E. Moore III/ Kris Bryant is projected to start at first every day, but those plans could still change One year ago, our State of the Position article for first base was titled “The Rockies Have A Traffic Jam at First Base.” Entering the 2023 season, the Colorado Rockies had C.J. Cron ready to man the position until he was either traded or departed via free agency. When he was traded to the Los Angeles Angels in July, the plan of succession seemed fairly simple. However, as has been the case for a few seasons now, the Rockies once again find...

Wednesday Rockpile: What does Kris Bryant need to do for a successful 2024 season?

Photo by Matthew Stockman/ Colorado Rockies news and links for Wednesday, February 21, 2024 We all know the answer to the question posed in the headline of this article. The common response we’ll see on social media will likely be something along the lines of “he’ll actually have to play.” This is a legitimate concern to have, more on that in a second, but what else will Kris Bryant need to do to make the 2024 season successful in the eyes of the team and fans alike?
