As we dive into the heart of spring training, the Colorado Rockies are generating some buzz, particularly around their young talents and the catching competition. Bud Black's recent comments about Chase Dollander and Michael Toglia have sparked my curiosity.
Dollander, with his impressive maturity and confidence, seems poised to make a significant impact. But how do you think the influx of NIL resources will shape the development of young players like him? Are we witnessing a shift in how prospects prepare for the big leagues?
On the other hand, Toglia's durability and defensive skills are commendable, but can he truly become a foundational player for the Rockies? With the pressure to lower his strikeout rate, what adjustments do you think he needs to make to solidify his role?
And let's not forget the catching competition. With Jacob Stallings as the veteran presence and the trio of Goodman, Romo, and Fulford vying for a spot, who do you think has the best chance to emerge as the starter? Each brings unique strengths to the table, but which attributes do you believe are most critical for a catcher in today’s game?
Bold prediction: I think Dollander will not only make the roster but will also be a key contributor by mid-season. What are your thoughts?
Let’s get the conversation rolling! What are your expectations for these players, and how do you see the Rockies shaping up this season?
