This has nothing to do with this post, but I think you should just do one post with all of the milestones for players that could be reached this season. Like I know Cano and Cruz are both within 25 homeruns of 300, but I don’t know about any others from other teams.

Adrian Beltre is 58 hits from 3000. That’s the biggest one.
Adrian Gonzalez is going to get to 2000 hits.
Cano is also going to get to 500 doubles this year. Off the top of my head that’s it. K-Rod is going to get to 450 saves but I don’t know if that’s much of a milestone

Also, Pujols is going to reach 600 homers this year and if he had a really strong year at the plate he’d get to 3000 hits too.

CC Sabathia is closing in on 3,000 ks.

Good idea.

I think Lyles is 100% a reliever now. Rusin probably is more likely to make a start than Lyles

Yea agree. Bud Black even said yesterday that the 5th starter spot was between Hoffman, Marquez, Freeman and Rusin.

Rusin, arguably, has more value as a reliever with the option of being a swingman in a spot. He was absolutely killer last year as one, and helped a struggling BP with the transition.
I feel that Hoffman has the 5th spot, but it is also his to lose.

The Rockies are going to compete soon. The only thing that might hold them back is the signing of Desmond. He cost them their draft pick and they could have easily signed Carter and been fine. Just imagine Carter’s power at Coors Field

Can Carter back up SS & CF without a drop in production? And probably play 2b & corners too? No? Then the Desmond signing wasn’t a mistake.

I’m a Jay’s fan but I like following the Rockies as one of my favorite teams.
I think the Rockies should be considered a playoff contenders and could compete for the division title.
the Dodgers managed to keep their FA’s but I don’t see where they made any real upgrades.
The Giants made a big upgrade at the closer role but will have a completely remodelled BP.
I think the Rockies have the biggest chance for substantial improvement with a great offence, with the addition of Holland and Dunn and ( hopefully McGee figures out how to pitch in Coors) the BP should be a real strength.
if the Jay’s are out of contention by the deadline then the Rockies should trade for Bautista for 1st and Estrada for the rotation.

It’s definitely their strongest team in years, but I’m concerned the bench seems to lack any late inning pop…

All about what happens in Spring Training. The 5th starter could be anyone. Watch Shane Carle.

5th spot in the rotation is one of many candidates. Spring Training will allow Black to give it to one. Hoffman has the early nod. Take a good look at Shane Carle.
