The Rockies bolstered their first base options in late January by trading for Edouard Julien from the Twins and acquiring T.J. Rumfield from the Yankees. Last season, Colorado’s first basemen had a poor OPS, with Michael Toglia struggling before being sent to Triple-A. Troy Johnston, Blaine Crim, and Rumfield are among the candidates vying for the position, while top prospect Charlie Condon is expected to develop in the minors. President Paul DePodesta has not ruled out further acquisitions to strengthen the lineup.
