Rockies' David Dahl possesses long-term potential rivaled by few rookies

Top 10 rookies with best long-term futures | MLB.com

Jim Callis ranks Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager as the most valuable rookie going forward, but Rockies outfielder David Dahl is placed respectably high on the list, coming in at No. 6. Dahl, due to injury, lost some development time that most others on the list didn't, but his combined effort at three levels this season speaks to how talented of a player he is -- and how good he should be going forward.

It was announced this past weekend that German Marquez would make his first career start to cap off the series against the Cardinals, and yesterday we found out who the rotation casualty would be to allow that to happen. Hoffman hasn't been great since being called up to the majors, but he's pretty clearly hit a wall while pitching a career-high number of innings. The Rockies will limit those innings by placing him in the bullpen, which will allow the highly touted prospect to continue to work on improving on the mound.
