Colorado Rockies - National League West

Colorado Rockies - Mile High Baseball

The Rockies were young last year and expect to be younger still this season as they emphasize developing from within. After losing 94 games, just one short of the franchise record set in their 1993 expansion season, the Rockies seem headed for a fifth straight losing season and their seventh in eight years. But there is hope. The starting rotation should be a strength, and the bullpen, which was deplorable last year, could be formidable once the back end is sorted out. This shapes up as a transitional season for the Rockies where young players gain experience and the farm system continues to push prospects toward the majors.

2004 Top Draft Pick
Shortstop Chris Nelson, the ninth player taken overall, received a $2.15 million signing bonus and began his
professional career at Casper, where he hit .347 with four homers and 20 RBIs and was named the No. 1 prospect in the Rookie Pioneer League. The Rockies were attracted to Nelson's bat, which was exceptional for a high school player. He has a short, quick swing and uses his hands extremely well for a young hitter. A former pitcher, Nelson also has an extremely strong arm and good range.

Difference Maker
After an ill-fated season as the Rockies' closer, Shawn Chacon will return to the rotation. He has always responded well when challenged and has enjoyed proving people wrong. He will have the chance to do both this year. Chacon, who has never won a game after July, must prove he can stay healthy for the duration of a season. He has very good stuff but a career average of 4.8 walks per nine innings, and his command issues are far more damaging as a closer than as a starter.
