What would you do with the number one overall pick? That was a question the Colorado Rockies had the best odds to try and answer heading into the draft lottery on Tuesday after their 101-loss season in 2024.
Unfortunately, sports are designed to break your heart and a groan of despair could certainly be heard over the state of Colorado after Colton Cowser announced the Rockies...

Even though general manager Bill Schmidt said that the team had “considered all options” with former top prospect and Gold Glove winning second baseman Brendan Rodgers, it came as no surprise when the Colorado Rockies chose to non-tender him last month.
Rodgers, now 28-years-old, had long struggled with injuries and failing to live up to the expectations of his draft...

As Purple Row nears the end of its Ranking the Rockies series, counting down the team’s most valuable players by WAR (No. 2 and 1 will be published next week), it seems like a good time to dive into the team’s WAR, especially after back-to-back 100-loss seasons.
As a team, the Rockies finished 10.4 in rWAR, according to Baseball Reference, ahead of only the White Sox (6.8). The WAR matches...

No, it's not a Lord of the Rings reference, though the idea is the same. Much like Aragorn awaited assistance from his allies to the east to save him from certain doom, the Rockies could do something similar in regards to the KBO League and Nippon Professional Baseball.
