All True Rockies Team

by Chris St. John on Dec 8, 2011 7:14 AM MST

Over at Beyond the Box Score, I came up with a "True Rockies" team. Basically, what is the best 25-man roster you can put together with players who have played for the Rockies their entire career? 16 of the players are current Rockies. A few players didn't quite make it because they weren't eligible, but I tried to give them a shout out at the end. Come on over and start a conversation about the team!

Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

Come on!

Jayhawk Owens! He was the first in our never ending line of Catchers Of The Future that failed to pan out.

Its nit really fair to have a pure Rockies team..

since we were an expansion club who began by drafting players from other teams. Guys like Vinny Castilla and Dante Bichette were pure Rockies IMO.

That's against the spirit of the whole series though

Bonds isn’t true Giant, Boggs isn’t a true Red Sox. Etc
