With the start of spring training just a month away, what expectations do you have for the Colorado Rockies?
I really think they are going to struggle this year. With the loss of Walker and Castilla, I don't see them winning more than 70 games. Their pitching staff is young and they seem to be healthy for the first time in a few seasons, but with the loss of Shawn Estes, they will have trouble starting a 15 game winner on their staff. Helton should be his usual All-Star self and I'm excited to see what Preston Wilson can do as he looks to be healthy after his trip to the DL last year. Aaron Miles is another I'm excited to see progress. Hopefully they prove me wrong and can contend for a wildcard spot this season.
