Who’s Not: De La Rosa might be the only starting pitcher worth investing in. Colorado ranked 28th in the majors in team ERA (4.44). … Michael Cuddyer enjoyed a 20-homer season, but his BABIP (.382) was abnormally high. Expect some regression.
Who’s Hurt: Tulowitzki is the obvious high-risk, high-reward player. He’s had DL stints three of that past four seasons. Gonzalez missed 52 games last season, most because of a sprained finger. Cuddyer has also struggled to stay healthy.
2013 Team Ranks Home runs: 15th (159) Stolen bases: T-9 (112) ERA: 28th (4.44)
