he table this team will score a lot of runs. Their starting rotation is very solid too. Jeff Francis is highly underrated, Aaron Cook should bounce back after being injured most of last year and Jimenez and Morales have great young arms. The Rockies also put together a solid bullpen. Their 8th and 9th inning should be all but done with Brian Fuentes as the set-up and Manny Corpas closing games out. Other than these two they have some young arms and some question marks. If their bullpen can put it together in the middle innings this will be a dangerous team and could actually win the division this season.
