Hunter Goodman had a breakout season, winning the NL Silver Slugger Award for Colorado.
What does #Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer think Goodman needs to do to take his next step? Leadership.
Also, expect more days at DH in the Cal Raleigh mold for Colorado’s catcher.

The last and only other time was 2007: Boston's Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima and Colorado's Kaz Matsui.

A decade later, the final three outs come courtesy of Jeff Hoffman, the top prospect included in the trade that brought Tulo over from the Rockies.
