Colorado Rockies' All-Time Greatest Position Players

Image
Here's my attempt to list the greatest Colorado Rockies players of all-time by position. I took into consideration a player's offensive production, defensive capabilities, and tenure with the Rockies. Let's get this Blake Street party started! C, Chris Iannetta Colorado hasn't had a premier Catcher for more than a season or two at a time, but Chris Iannetta finds himself as the Rockies' All-Time greatest catcher based off of his tenure and semi-decent productivity. He leads all Rockies catchers in Hits (336), Home Runs (63), RBI (236), Walks (241), and he's 10th All-Time (any position) in Rockies' history with a .357 OBP. His high On-Base% is due to him being a magnet for pitches, being hit by 40 pitches while with the Rockies. He never blossomed into the catcher the Rockies hoped for, but hopefully he'll find more success with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Runner-Up: Yorvit Torrealba Torrealba brought a contagious energy to the Rockies...

New Colorado Rockies Statue?

The Milwaukee Brewers are immortalizing Bob Uecker with a statue at Miller Park, so it got me to wondering...who should the Rockies honor with a statue? As of right now, there's "The Player" at the home plate entrance at Coors Field. "The Player" honors Branch Rickey, who I personally adore, but I think we need to pick either a Rockies' player or manager to bronze next. Below is a poll with some of my ideas for the next Coors Field statue. Vote Now! Who Should the Rockies Honor with a Statue at Coors Field? Todd Helton (Final out of 2007 NLCS game) Larry Walker (1997 All-Star Game) Dante Bichette (Fist Pump and mullet) Troy Tulowitzki (Might as well get a head start) Matt Holliday (2007 Wild Card Slide, with interactive blood spurting from chin) Mike Hampton and Denny Neagle counting money Don Baylor (Because he's a boss and would scare away pigeons) Jim Tracy (Oh, wait...he already is a statue) Acepolls ...
