The Rocky Road to Rotation: Which Pitcher Will Claim the Elusive Fifth Starter Spot?
Fast forward to now: the Rockies have added a trio of seasoned starting pitchers to the mix—shaking things up and potentially reshaping the rotation. Michael Lorenzen’s arrival led to Blalock’s designation for assignment, Márquez has moved on to the Padres as a free agent, and Senzatela’s role remains in flux, with Manager Warren Schaeffer keeping options open for his spot in the rotation once again.
So here we stand, with a rotation featuring Freeland, Lorenzen, Tomoyuki Sugano, and José Quintana — the burning question remains: who claims that fifth slot as the Rockies head into the season? Will Feltner make a rousing return? Can Dollander step up right away? Is Senzatela fighting his way back? Or could it be one of the younger arms like Gordon or Brown?
