2008 MLB Betting Previews - Colorado Rockies

Starting Pitching:

Did the Colorado Rockies staff catch lightning in a bottle last year or will they be able to continue their steady performance? That’s a tough call because history shows that few pitchers have continued success in Colorado.

Jeff Francis won 17 games last year, Aaron Cook was reliable and Ubaldo Jimenez emerged in the playoffs. Jiminez will be the biggest suspect as doubters will want to see a full season from him.

Behind them are Mark Redman and Franklin Morales, who are essentially fill-ins. There appears to be a lack of depth here. The Rockies got a big boost from Jimenez when he came up midseason last year and it is unclear who that candidate might be this year.
