Spring training is in full swing. Pitchers and catchers reported to camp last Thursday, and the rest of the squad is set to officially join them tomorrow.<\/p>\n
At the end of last season, the Colorado Rockies looked like they were going to once again trot out a very young rotation that saw Chase Dollander<\/a> and McCade Brown<\/a> make their MLB debuts, and Tanner Gordon<\/a> and Bradley Blalock<\/a> enter their second years in MLB after debuting the previous summer.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Kyle Freeland<\/a> and Germ\u00e1n M\u00e1rquez<\/a> filled out the rotation after Antonio Senzatela<\/a> was relegated to the bullpen<\/a>, and Ryan Feltner<\/a> spent nearly the entire year on the Injured List.<\/p>\n However, since January, the Rockies have signed a trio of veteran starters<\/a> who are now set to join the rotation alongside Freeland. Blalock was designated for assignment<\/a> to make room for Michael Lorenzen, and M\u00e1rquez recently signed with the San Diego Padres<\/a> as a free agent. Senzatela appeared poised to remain in the bullpen<\/a> at the end of last year, but manager Warren Schaeffer is giving him a chance<\/a> this spring to potentially be a starter once again.<\/p>\n So, if the rotation is set with Freeland, Lorenzen, Tomoyuki Sugano<\/a> and Jos\u00e9\u00a0Quintana<\/a>, who is the fifth starter that will break camp with the Rockies? Will it be Feltner<\/a> in his return from injury? Will Dollander<\/a> prove himself right out of the gate? Will it be Senzatela making his case to return to the rotation? Or will it be someone else \u2014 Gordon, Brown, or someone else entirely?<\/p>\n Let us know your thoughts!<\/p>\n
