Can Bud Black find a reliable closer? Right now, the Rockies have three in the mix.
* Coaxing No. 1 starter German Marquez to take the next step forward. Black has a good relationship with the right-hander, but Black knows that Marquez can be — and should be — better than he is.
Patrick, we enter the 2022 season with a potentially strong rotation like we had last year — even without Jon Gray. If we avoid the injury bug and get a serviceable No. 5 starter, do you think we could make a playoff push? I think we have a shot, especially with the newfound power we got in the offseason.
Rockies starters turned in 68 quality starts last season, which ranked tied with Cincinnati for third in the National League. The Dodgers were first, with 74. Plus, the starters pitched very well at Coors Field last season. Also, while playing any outfield position at Coors Field is a challenge, a left fielder gets a lot more hits coming his way and right-handed hitters tend to pull the ball hard to left. When they do, the ball can get on top of the left fielder very quickly. Just ask Dante Bichette or Matt Holliday.
