Well according to bob the rockies have signed themselves

 

[JWK]

Why

(If this means Parra is gone, I don’t mind this.)

 

[TF97]

I fully expected Baltimore to commit around $10M and everyday at bats to him, only to have it end horribly.

 

[tony d]

I've always liked him, good to see him get signed.

That seems like a LOT in this market.

If he bounces back to the player he was in 2016 it's well worth it.

 

[NJDevs26]

lol how many outfielders do the Rockies want? It seems a bit silly to have Desmond, Blackmon, CarGo and Parra all blocking once highly regarded prospects in Dahl and Tapia.

 

[bluesfan94]

Wasn’t Desmond playing 1B?

Wasn’t Desmond playing 1B?

I think that was the plan when they signed him (which I still don't get since they gave up a high pick to get him). They have McMahon waiting, though. Obviously, he's blocked at third by Arenado, but he could play first if Desmond struggles.

I don't get them re-signing CarGo, though. Like NJDevs said, they have so many outfielders.

 

[darko]

Tapia yes. Dahl is too injury prone. If Dahl stays healthy and tears up AAA they'll make room for him.

They have 1 good outfielder. Dahl missed all of last season, Tapia struggled in the majors, and the other 2 are terrible overpaid players that won't block anyone.
