Two huge gets for the Rockies, especially Jonathan Lucroy. A veteran presence at catcher, one whose numbers will presumably get Coorsified, is not to be overlooked.

The failing is not addressing the rotation. No matter what Jeff Bridich and Bud Black say, if they could have gotten Yu Darvish or another established arm, they should have. Maybe they didn’t have the chips to make it happen or just got outbid, who knows. But if they really believe a collection of kids and no-name hopefuls is going to match up in a post-season series, they could be sadly mistaken.
