Milwuakee is one of five NL teams against which the Rockies have an all-time winning record. They have had more success against Milwaukee in Denver than any other NL team.

Rockies are 9-8 all-time in season openers, including 5-6 on the road. This is the first time the Rockies have opened a season against Milwaukee.

Rockies should open Hall of Fame as part of the recognition of Todd Helton when he officially retires. They also should make No. 17 the first number the franchise ever retires.

To talk about any outfield position for the Colorado Rockies is to talk about all outfield positions. The Rockies have three clear starters, but a deep bench of outfielders who can play multiple positions will mean plenty of mixing and matching to create the best possible matchups this season.

Good and bad befell the likes of Eric Young, Dante Bichette, Dave Veres, Mike Hampton, Shawn Chacon, Clint Barmes and LaTroy Hawkins

Rockies will open the season barely behind franchise record payroll of 2001 barring any late-spring additions.

Armando Reynoso, Steve Reed, Taylor Buchholz, John Vander Wal, Mike Kingery, Mike Myers and Mark Sweeney had great years that were less noticeable.
