Rockies face rotation questions as Jon Gray, Tyler Anderson near return | The Denver Post

In the meanwhile, the Rockies already have five talented starters filling the rotation.

Rockies add several pitchers on Draft Day 2 | Rockies.com
The Rockies spent day two stocking up on college players. At the end of the day they picked up four college arms, and four college bats.

Like most late-round high schoolers, Gilbreath choose the college route instead of signing.

The Diamondbacks pulled within half a game of the Rockies last night with their win. The NL West battle is going to be a fierce one all season.
Dodgers late surge beats Cleveland in the opener | True Blue LA
Like the Diamondbacks, the Dodgers also made up ground with a win last night. Unfortunately they are now in a tie with the Rockies in the standings.
The Giants and Padres games were still in progress when I wrote this so no links to their games, but with the NL West standings looking like they do, I don’t think anyone is going to mind.
