In our final installment, we round out the rotation as described by Sean Smith's CHONE projections.

CHONE projections seem to have a lot of the Rockies' pitching rotation taking a step back. This week's Counting Rocks discusses these numbers and why they seem to be out of line or right on target.

Continuing the exploration of the CHONE projections of the Rockies' 2010, Counting Rocks moves on to the OF and bench.

Projections can be the basis of analysis of expectations for the 2010 season. Where does CHONE stack up against the Colorado Rockies?

Troy Tulowitzki has evolved from the absurd fielder and young hothead to a team leader and cleanup hitter and a top SS in the National League. How exactly did this unfold in 2009?

Pitching wins, the all-time standby for a pitcher's worth. Who tops the list for Colorado?
