Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2023 revision of our top 50 Colorado Rockies.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Colorado had a bad year, and it resulted in no new entrants and only a few changes on the list.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Todd Helton

2. Larry Walker

3. Nolan Arenado

4. Troy Tulowitzki

5. Charlie Blackmon

 You can find the entire list here.

It is worth noting that Blackmon was unable to move past the #5 spot, which is where he was last year.

Pitcher, Kyle Freeland, rose to #14 from #17, and it impacted another hurler, German Marquez, who was injured and was overtaken by Freeland.  He dropped one spot to #16.

Infielder, Ryan McMahon, went from #32 to #25.

Pitcher, Antonio Senzatela, was also injured, and did not move from #42. 

C.J. Cron, was traded to the Los Angeles Angels, was unable to climb from #50.

We thank you for your continued support for our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball we look at the following:

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Colorado had another abysmal year, but there was a new entry and some fluctuation.

As always, we present our top five, which had one change.

1. Todd Helton

2. Larry Walker                     

3. Nolan Arenado

4. Troy Tulowitzki

5. Charlie Blackmon

You can find the entire list here.

Blackmon just did enough to make it into the top five, moving from #6 to #5.

Pitchers, German Marquez moved up one spot to #15, and Kyle Freeland, advanced two ranks to #17.

The biggest jump was by Infielder, Ryan McMahon, who advanced ten spots to #32.

First Baseman, C.J. Cron, is the lone new entrant, debuting at #50.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

C.J. Cron was an average player (at best) for years, first making the Majors with the Angels in 2014, but faltering by 2020 with Detroit, where they had no problem letting him go.  Cron was signed to a Minor League deal by the Rockies to little fanfare, and most people in the Mile High City likely didn’t notice.  That would eventually change.

Cron won the starting job at First for the Rockies in 2021, showing his usual power (28 Home Runs) but batting .281, his highest to date.  He got off to a great start in 2022, earning his first trip to the All-Star Game, an unlikely achievement considering where he was two years before.  He finished the year with career-highs in Hits (148) and RBIs (102) with 29 Home Runs. 

Cron regressed in 2023, and dealt with injuries.  With the Angels desperate to try t make the playoffs in a bid to keep Shohei Ohtani, the Rockies dealt Cron there, ending his run in Colorado.  Overall, Cron had 334 Hits and the best run of his career.
