Rockies to consider changing MiLB affiliates? Is Colorado Springs a solution for challenging prospects sooner?
Description
Alon Leichman, new pitching coach of the Colorado Rockies, recently discussed the importance of failure in the minors before a player reaches the Major Leagues. With altitude coming into play only on the final rung of the Minor League ladder, would the Rockies ever consider shuffling their affiliates? Could a new team and stadium in Colorado Springs hold the key to such a strategy?
It's Team USA against the Colorado Rockies today at Salt River Fields. Would a blowout mean anything in particular for Colorado? When do the games count for real for the Red, White and Blue?
Plus, the World Baseball Classic begins halfway around the world tonight, how a new minor league club for the Colorado Avalanche ties into the Rockies future fortunes and predicting the top purple prospect in 2028.
