  □ C -Chris Iannetta, 27, 4th round pick in '04 draft, □  1B Mark Reynolds, 32,  slugger replaced by Ian Desmond in '18  
  dealt to Anaheim in 2012 □  2B DJ LeMahieu, 27, a solid .300 hitter with a bit of power   
  □ 3B - Ian Stewart, 25, 10th overall pick in 2003 draft, like Hawpe □  SS Trevor Story, 23, slugger, one of the top shortstops in the game

   (in 2011) going from a stud to a dud, dealt to Cubs in 2012 □  CF Charlie Blackmon, 29, slugger, one of the top hitters in the game  
  □ RHP - Jhoulys Chacin, 22, IFA in 2004 □  OF Carlos Gonzalez, 30, slugger, who suffers the "sudden Colorado  
  □ LHP - Jorge De La Rosa, 29, obtained from KC in a 2008 trade  hitters fall off the cliff syndrome" in '17  
  Closer - Huston Street, 26, picked up from A's in 2009 in Matt Holliday  
   deal, dealt to SD in 2012 2017 - Colorado improves twelve games in the standings to 87-75 and  
  □ RHP - Jason Hammel, 27, dealt ot Orioles for Jeremy Guthrie in 2012  makes the playoffs. The main reason for the improvement is that they  
  □ RHP - Ubaldo Jimenez, 26. IFA in 2001, dealt to Cleveland  yield 103 less runs from 2016. The addition of Greg Holland, 31, as a  
   for 4 players in 2011  FA closer (41 saves) from KC made the big difference.  
   
    2011 - CF Charlie Blackmon, 24, debuts, 2nd round pick in 2008 draft 2018 - The Rockies make it to the wild card for a second season in a row.  
   They almost won the Division, but lost a playoff with the Dodgers, so they  
  2011 - 1B Willin Rosario, 22, debuts. IFA in 2006  had to settle for a wild card. Colorado knocked off the Cubs in the  
   wild card game before being swept by Milwaukee in the NLDS.  
  2012 - 2B DJ LeMahieu, 23 debuts with Colorado  
   obtained from Cubs in Ian Stewart steal of a deal  The 2018 season was pretty close to a carbon copy of 2017.

  2013 - 3B Nolan Arenado, 22, is a rookie. 2nd round pick in 2009 draft  Kyle Freeland, German Marquez and Jon Gray were again the top starters.  
   Former KC righty Wade Davis replaced another former KC righty

  group of talent in his fifteen year tenure, he resigns his post as GM in   Davis came in as a free agent from KC.  
  a front office power squabble.     
    2019 - Disaster. The Rockies drop 20 games in the standings going from Wild Card  
  2015 - Colorado deals star SS Troy Tulowitzki, 30, to the Blue Jays at the to doormat. Familiar story for Colorado. It was the pitching. While the offense   
  trade deadline for SS Jose Reyes, 32, and three pitching prospects. remained potent. The defense and pitching yielded 150 more runs than 2018.  
  It was a deal that was supposed to jump start Colorado's farm system, There were two main culprits for the decline, their two best pitchers:   
  but all three were busts. The Rockies also had a good young SS □ Ace Lefty Kyle Freeland, 25, went from 17-7 2.85 to 3-11 6.73  
  in the minors who they saw as Tulowitzki's eventual replacement. □ Closer Wade Davis dropped from 43 saves to 15 with a 1-6 mark and 8.65 ERA  
   
  2016 - SS Trevor Story, 23, is a rookie. 1st round pick in 2011 draft.  2019 - The Wild Card finishes in 2017 and 2018 kept the decade from being a  
  total washout for Colorado. That being said, it wasn't pretty. There's no money,  
  2016 - LF David Dahl, 22, is a rookie. 10th overall pick in 2012 draft the GM's are not worthy, and the rarified air in Denver is a real problem.
