Why The Rockies Do Not Need To Rush Back David Dahl | FanRag Sports
The Rockies can take their time with Dahl, who hasn’t played a game yet this season. Despite the recent losing ways, the team is still six games up in the Wild Card standings and have plenty of outfield depth to handle his absence.

Trade season is coming, and the Rockies have found themselves on the receiving end of a lot of rumors lately. Three of those rumors surround Detroit’s Justin Verlander and J.D. Martinez along with Pittsburgh’s Ivan Nova. I don’t think any of them are good fits for the Rockies; Verlander is on the decline and hasn’t been the same pitcher over the last few years, Nova is having a career year in a career of mediocrity, and I’d rather have David Dahl when he’s ready than shell out some prospects for a Martinez rental.
