Instead of fans having to wonder when the prospects will start arriving to turn things from dismal to bearable, now it's more like…

Ezequiel Tovar, the next in a succession of Rockies shortstops behind Trevor Story and Troy Tulowitzki, fielded groundballs Thursday under a gray sky for the first time at Coors Field.

One of the oft-used axioms when it comes to player development is that the leap from Single A- to Double-A is the toughest one to make. Zac Veen, the Rockies' top prospect, found out just how true that can be. The No. 9 overall pick in the 2020 Draft spent the bulk of his second full season with High-A Spokane and put up solid enough numbers to get…
