Batting titles alone won't get you there, Bill Madlock had 4.

Not sure how a player can be punished for playing in Colorado. If it were so easy to put up fantastic numbers, why haven't more players done it?

As for the initial question: yes, eventually. Who it will be, I dunno. Maybe Walker by the VC. Maybe Tulowitzki will age well (no indication of that so far). Maybe Arenado ages well.
I really don't think that pitchers should be worried about signing there (nor should agents be worried about pitchers signing there). By now everyone knows that Colorado distorts pitcher performance, and we've even got a good idea of how to adjust for it. Hampton's 2001 was just about league average, once you adjust for the fact that he was playing in Colorado at the peak of silly ball. His 2002 was dismal, it's true, but pitchers man. That could just be the inherent unpredictability of pitchers (as compared to hitters). |

There have been a lot of Rockies with big numbers: Bichette, Galarraga, Castilla, Burke, Walker, Helton, Holliday, Tulowizki, Arenado, C.Gonzalez, Blackmon, Story (last year's Story) Keep in mind, the Rockies are only in their 25th season.

To be fair, one of Madlock's titles was a strike season. His numbers don't compare to Walker's though. He's at half Walker's WAR, no MVP and no Gold Gloves. Last edited by packs; 07-18-2017 at 08:41 PM. |
