Every player here has a number.
It's not the kind of number that is stitched to the back of a Colorado Rockies uniform, nor is it a bloated number on a new multiyear contract. We're talking pageantry. We're talking a scale from 2 to 8, with 8 being the pinnacle, the mythical baseball salon where the A-Rods and Nomars and Heltons and Pedros go to socialize. If you're a 2 at Hi Corbett Field, spring home of the Rockies, chances are you won't make it to Coors Field in Denver. This is the system Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd has put in place so he can better understand what he has and what he needs.
