The Rock Star outfield is: Matt Holliday, Carlos Gonzalez, Larry Walker
That a damn good outfield right there and would probably fair very well in competition with some other teams all time great outfields. I am disappointed that Dante Bichette didn't make it, thanks to WAR. This is the main reason I do not like WAR as a stat, because you could talk from now until I die and you will NEVER convince me that 1 season of Jeffrey Hammonds was more valuable than the combined total of 7 seasons of Dante Bichette. It's should be looked at as a joke from reading that sentence, but some people still think it's a usable stat. Oh well. This is the way I expected the all time Rockies outfield to look in 2014 or so, but not today. CarGo is great, but he has only played three years so far. Although, I personally would have Gonzalez replace Holliday when it happens. What can I say Dante is my favorite Rockie ever. But for now let's celebrate the Rock Star outfield including (hopefully) eventual Hall of Famer Larry Walker.
Tomorrow will be the biggest vote for the Rock Stars and last one involving players. The starting rotation will feature 25 candidates including many guys that probably killed your fantasy team back in the day.
