Unfortunately (or maybe not) I didn't have a chance to do a thorough review of the Rockies July. I'm also a little pressed for time when it comes to doing a thorough review of August, but I will make some time for my favorite of those reviews (the player rankings). '
The following rankings will cover both July and August. It's based on my opinions only, but I look at several different things (offense, defense, pitching, baserunning, poise, consistency, intelligence and ability to change a game) while formulating it. So here we go... ranking all Rockies who suited up in July and August. Well, aside from those who were traded or made very brief cameos (Tommy Field and Edwar Cabrera).
- Adam Ottavino
- Wilin Rosario
- Josh Rutledge
- Eric Young Jr.
- Rafael Betancourt
- Jordan Pacheco
- Carlos Gonzalez
- Josh Roenicke
- Dexter Fowler
- Tyler Colvin
- Matt Belisle
- Carlos Torres
- Chris Nelson
- D.J. LeMahieu
- Jeff Francis
- Rex Brothers
- Tyler Chatwood
- Jhoulys Chacin
- Michael Cuddyer
- Alex White
- Todd Helton
- Andrew Brown
- Guillermo Moscoso
- Jonathan Herrera
- Drew Pomeranz
- Will Harris
- Matt Reynolds
- Ramon Hernandez
- Jason Giambi
- Mike Ekstrom
- Charlie Blackmon
- Christian Friedrich
- Matt McBride
- Jonathan Sanchez
- Edgmer Escalona
The rest of the top 5 was difficult. I went with Rosario second because his development behind the plate has been encouraging, and he's already a game-changer offensively with more room to grow. Josh Rutledge is just a ballplayer, plain and simple. EY2 could have easily taken the #2 slot had he not been injured. He was playing like a man possessed before that. And Rafael Betancourt has remained on point in the 9th inning.
