Free agent Jonathan Lucroy fits with Rockies | Rockies.com
Signing Lucroy should be the biggest offseason priority for the Rockies. His fit with the team after being acquired at the deadline was obvious and his bat rebounded to what everyone was accustomed to during his time with the Brewers. With the Rockies boasting one of the youngest rotations in the majors, having a veteran behind the plate is a good idea, and the disappointing seasons from Tony Wolters and Tom Murphy illuminated the possibility that the Rockies may not have the catching answer in house.
For Lucroy, his struggles with the Rangers and then the enjoyable time with the Rockies may have him doubting that the grass will be greener somewhere else and lead him to re-sign with the Rockies. The Rockies also have the benefit of being a playoff contender to help re-sign their priority free agents as well as sign any new players.
