Moustakas

Moustakas

Moustakas is a slug. I doubt he makes the team and if he does it is as a pinch hitter.

Initially, thanks to some odd national reporting, there seemed to be some thought that Moustakas would slide right into the starting second base job, replacing the injured Brendan Rodgers.

This was quickly corrected by local reporters Thomas Harding of MLB.com and Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post who shared that the team sees “Moose” as a depth option at 3B, 1B, and DH.

This is the Rockies we're talking about.

Roster Resource has him as starting 3B and I wouldn't doubt it for a minute.

Rockies gonna Rockie, but I still love Montero. In ST: max EV 113, K% 19, GO/AO 0.53. Masher.

Since Bard has been back at least 3 weeks but has not gotten any save opps (likely because the Rockies don't want to use him in high leverage situations for anxiety-related reasons), can we safely proclaim that Pierce Johnson is the main man now? 9 saves so far this season.

Definitely, though if he hits a rough patch in the second half, Bard could get chances.

He has a 6.23 ERA, what's a rough patch look like?

And now Daniel Bard will undergo right flexor tendon surgery and miss the remainder of the 2024 season.
