Two more last-place teams! The Rockies go first, because they're slightly better.
I think it's very sad that the Rox went from a Wild Card-winning runaway playoff team last year to a last-place finisher. That's usually the Twins' thing.
It's not like the core has let this team down- Arenado, Blackmon, Story and Murphy is a strong core, Ryan McMahon has finally come into his own, and Jon Gray and German Marquez are proven aces. Only thing is...the rest of the team exists. The rest of the lineup is very middling, with guys like Raimel Tapia, Ian Desmond and Sam Hilliard barely coming above replacement levels.
The pitching's even more dire- Gray and Marquez are injured, leaving Antonio Senzatela to lead a rotation of two rookies (Tim Melville and Peter Lambert), two guys who've had MUCH better numbers (Kyle Freeland and Jeff Hoffman), and...Senzatela himself, who's not great. Even Wade Davis is having his worst year since becoming a perennial closer.
It's a team that'll hopefully be better when everyone gets healthy next year, but...2019 was pretty damn dire.
Not even Starlin Castro is doing well, and he usually does. I mean, it is nice that they're developing a youth movement, and they can rely on Miguel Rojas and Brian Anderson to lead the team, but what happens when Anderson is out for the season? You try other guys like Jon Berti, Harold Ramirez and Isan Diaz, and hope one of them sticks.
Good news is that Magneuris Sierra is finally doing well in the majors, Garrett Cooper and Jorge Alfaro have had great seasons, and Caleb Smith and Sandy Alcantara have been strong rotation options. Hell, another trade piece, Steven Duggar, is now starting games and doing an alright job, and Brian Moran, Colin's brother, is finally up in the majors relieving games.
This is still a and team, but there's an ounce of hope that maybe, potentially, theoretically...enough young talent could pool together to get them out of last. It may not happen in 2020, but it should happen...someday.
...right?
Coming Tomorrow- THE FIRST TEAM TO 100 LOSSES. And one of their starters.
Hello there, my name is Darci Lyne, I am from a new jersey, USA. I read a post-comment online of a Los Angeles Based Journalist Reveals How he Permanently Cured Weak Erection & Quick Ejaculation 2 months after His wife Left Him and he also said Dr. NOSA makes his ex-wife return back after 2year of separation. I contacted the same Dr. NOSA because of my challenges in life, I have these Powerful Intentions that things will work for me, I believed in testimonies are real-life proves. I realized this would be good to share here as I know it will inspire others too.

I'm not sure I could have done it without him. I would have given up and believed that because my husband was seeing someone else and he said we were done. After Dr.NOSA launched a Magic Love-spell, my husband calls me on the cell phone and he returns back home. Thank you so much for bringing back my husband home after 3 years of separation. We are forever indebted. today I'm testifying with joy and happiness to the world...also, you can
