Where are the Rockies now?  They're pretty good, yes, but something still seems to be missing.  An intangible?  Not sure.  One trade.  One pick-up.  Maybe it's Ryan Howard (as a coach?)...

Next year, with a move or two, they should be in position to truly compete with the Dodgers + DBacks.  The pitching was mostly rookie (each one was better than Chatwood, whom they should consider trading).  Bettis, Anderson, Gray, and Dahl are coming off health issues.  With conditioning, they should all be back to 100% in 2018.  Sophomore jinx should be off of Story.  Desmond, Cargo, and Lucroy had off-years.  Even w/o a 2017 playoff berth, the calculation has to be, they'll be even better in 2018.  Right??
