For years, we have been using this part of the “State of the Position” series to advocate for change, and, Reader, this year we got it. My word, did we get it.

It’s a long-standing feature of this article to point out previous iterations of this article. When I wrote my first one eight years ago (holy crap, I’m getting old), the Rockies were trending in the right direction, and the ownership got precious little credit for it. So I wrote a string of articles focused on […]

And the Colorado Rockies actually have a winning record, including a few double-digit wins. (I know: Spring training results mean nothing, but I feel […]
When the San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies meet in a road matchup, it usually results in a high number of hits and an equally high number of runs. That was not the case on Friday when the Padres traveled to Scottsdale, Ariz. to play the Rockies at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. […]

Let’s get historical tonight! This was a discussion we had in our SB Nation managers Slack channel today, so I’d like to pose the question to you. The Rockies are turning 33 this year, so they don’t have a long, storied history like other franchises such as the Yankees or the Cubs. But they do […]

The Colorado Rockies’ offense continues to sizzle as they defeated the San Francisco Giants yesterday 11-3.

I’ll also have some thoughts on the state of the system as a whole soon to conclude the series. Without further ado, here is the full pre-season 2026 Top […]
The Rockies have always prided themselves on being a draft-and-develop team. Without the dollars to match the Dodgers or Yankees, they have to; however, they haven’t excelled in either area in recent years. Enter Colorado’s new general manager Josh Brynes, and his plan for development. Byrnes spent the last 11 years in Los Angeles, overseeing […]

For the second straight day, the San Francisco Giants engaged in a Cactus League slugfest. And for the second straight day, the power they provided was surpassed by the power they allowed.

1. Charlie Condon (563 points, 19 ballots) Condon’s 2024 professional debut was a bit of a dud, but his first full season as a professional saw the 22-year-old righty slugger hit his way to Double-A. Condon received a MLB record-tying $9.25 million bonus as the third-overall pick in the 2024 draft (about $180k over slot) […]
