Reynolds will be solid but when? Francis has too good of stuff to be struggling much
longer. JImenez is a competitor and if he gets bye that one bad inning he will be special.
Cook has finally figured it out, he doesn't rush his stuff like I thought he did. Hurst is on
the bubble but I think he can be a good 4th starter. Morales has location problems and
how many times have you seen guys like this ever make it? Once he starts throwing
strikes will he be able to make the right location strikes? There are some other options
but right now they are buried at AA and below, too far off to depend on this summer. As
for Holliday, wouldn't he look great at first base in a year or two? Give me a Stewart who
finally forces the Rockies hand for big league play and you've got a good 3 - 4 hitting
combo. Then I would move Atkins to second in the order because of his ability to hit to
all fields. Iannetta is making a statement I hope it's his coming out party.
