BrettHOST
Hunter Goodman emerged as the primary option, hitting 41 homers.
BrettHOST
But we also have Braxton Fulford and Brett Sullivan in the mix.
BrettHOST
Last week, we discussed whether one of the secondary catchers would be traded or designated.
BrettHOST
With Goodman's performance, that pressure is real.
BrettHOST
[scratching]
EricaHOST
Right, because the current group includes Braxton Fulford and Brett Sullivan alongside Goodman.
EricaHOST
If Goodman is locking in as the starter, that creates a logjam.
EricaHOST
Do you think the Rockies keep all three? [whistle]
EricaHOST
So is he locked? I think so.
EricaHOST
Braxton Fulford and Brett Sullivan are still on the roster, but the gap in offensive production between them and Goodman is too wide to ignore.
BrettHOST
I agree.
BrettHOST
Unless one of the backups has a breakout spring training, Goodman is the starter.
BrettHOST
For the Rockies, the catcher position is interesting.
BrettHOST
Hunter Goodman is clearly separating himself from Braxton Fulford and Brett Sullivan.
EricaHOST
We've talked about this before.
EricaHOST
Goodman's power is undeniable.
BrettHOST
Goodman provides a bat that can drive and runs.
BrettHOST
Coupled with Braxton Fulford and Brett Sullivan, the catching core is actually a relative strength.
BrettHOST
Also, the second base competition between Adele Amador and Willie Castro offers flexibility.
BrettHOST
Amador showed promise in his development phase.
ErikaHOST
One more thing on the roster battles.
ErikaHOST
Are there any moves you expect in the offseason?
BrettHOST
I think one of the secondary catchers, either Fulford or Sullivan, will be traded or designated for assignment.
BrettHOST
There isn't room for three catchers if Goodman is the starter, especially if they want to add utility infielders.
EricaHOST
That's huge power for a guy behind the plate.
EricaHOST
But Braxton Fulford and Brett Sullivan are also on the roster.
EricaHOST
Is Goodman the clear starter?
BrettHOST
Goodman provides elite pop, yes.

BrettHOST
Same goes for Sterling Thompson.
BrettHOST
They're depth pieces, but they need to prove they can contribute.
EricaHOST
And what about the catchers? Braxton Fulford and Brett Sullivan, are they gone?
BrettHOST
They might be, if Goodman secures the job, one of them could be a trade ship, or they could be sent down to AAA for more playing time.
BrettHOST
Defensively, he's still developing.
BrettHOST
Braxton Fulford and Brett Sullivan are also on the roster.
BrettHOST
But offensively, you can't ignore the numbers.
BrettHOST
In a 58-win season, finding a guy who can produce 40 homer power is a massive win for the front office.
EricaHOST
That's nearly half the roster gone.
EricaHOST
No wonder the call-ups like Braxton Fulford and Brett Sullivan are getting significant playing time behind the plate.
EricaHOST
It puts pressure on the catchers to manage the game effectively.
EricaHOST
Does that impact the defensive positioning against Morikami?
BrettHOST
They need contributions across the lineup, not just one guy.
EricaHOST
And let's not forget Braxton Fulford and Hunter Goodman behind the plate.
EricaHOST
Catching matters in high leverage situations.
EricaHOST
If the defense is shaky, the pitcher is under more stress.
BrettHOST
Against the White Sox, who are pushing for a playoff spot, they might pitch around him.
BrettHOST
That opens up opportunities for guys like Zach Veen or Braxton Fulford in the DH spot.
BrettHOST
The Rockies need to spread the love.
BrettHOST
One player can't carry the entire load against a motivated opponent.
