The Colorado Rockies have a traffic jam at first base — this is probably not news to you.
They began the season with CJ Cron and Mike Moustakas at first while Elehuris Montero scrambled for playing time.

It took 31 seasons, but the Colorado Rockies officially concluded their first triple-digit loss season on Sunday, winning 3-2 in a bizarre fashion against the Minnesota Twins to finish the year with a 59-103 record. The outcome was about as miserable as expected as their Pythagorean W-L was 60-102 based on their negative-236 run differential.
While the management and the coaching staff contend that...
