John Thomson was never going to be confused with an ace, but he did start 101 Games for the Colorado Rockies, a testament to his usefulness to the organization.  As of this writing only eight pitchers in franchise history have started more.

With Colorado for six years, in his first run with the team, Chris Iannetta often struggled to obtain (or keep) the starting Catcher’s job but he was decent defensively and had a bit of power with two seasons of 15 Home Runs or more.  He also had a respectable On Base Percentage, often averaging 100 Points more than his Batting Average.

Iannetta would have a second stint with the franchise in a back-up role, which was a testament to his ability to handle Pitchers and his still comparable defensive ability.  His numbers with the Rockies saw him eke out 435 Hits and a Defensive bWAR of 2.5.

Ranked a little lower than you would initially think mainly because of his lack of defensive contributions and overall bWAR, Garrett Atkins was with the Colorado Rockies for all but his final season in the Majors.  Atkins would have three straight seasons with 20 or more Home Runs, two of which also saw him tally 100 RBIs.  He also hit for a decent average, twice going batting over .300.  He would actually receive a few MVP votes in 2006.  Again, if only he could play defense more consistently!

Kevin Ritz had a 17 Win season for the Colorado Rockies in 1996.  That year, he also led the National League in Earned Runs allowed.  Those facts aside, this is still a pitcher who the year before finished 8th in bWAR for Pitchers and was a starter for Colorado for four-plus seasons.
