In a well played all-around game, the Colorado Rockies defeated the Cleveland Indians by a score of 3-1.

For the second consecutive Spring Training meeting, the Colorado Rockies got whomped by the Los Angeles Dodgers, this time by a score of 7-1.

Zero. Nothing. None. Nada. Zilch. Zip. The big goose egg. We have a lot of different ways of describing the absence of something and you can take whichever is your favorite to describe the number of Major League additions the Colorado Rockies made to their roster in the offseason.

It’s the time of year in baseball when certain players will, at least for a moment, separate themselves from the pack and have fans, coaches, and teammates wondering “is this guy legit?” It can be difficult to discern the difference between someone who is blossoming into a breakout and a guy who just got hot for a few days. This…...
