“Starvin” Marvin Freeman bounced between starting and relief pitching in the majors, but in the strike-shortened season of 1994, he would have his best season by a substantial margin.  The then member of the Colorado Rockies finished 4th in Cy Young voting, going 10 and 2 with a 2.80 ERA and a 4.5 bWAR.  That 1994 season, which may have been a fluke, nevertheless catapulted him on this list.
A Starting Pitcher throughout his career, Armando Reynoso was with Colorado for four seasons, coinciding with the first four years of the franchise's existence.  His best season was his first, where he went 12 and 11 with 117 Strikeouts.  Reynoso would win 30 Games for the Rockies.
Jeff Cirillo was only a member of the Colorado Rockies for two seasons, but it was an impactful one.  Cirillo was an All-Star in 2000, a year he accumulated 195 Hits with a Slash Line of .326/.392/.477.  His second and final year in Colorado was almost as good with 165 Hits and a .313/.364/.477 Slash Line.  That year, he had 17 Home Runs, the best of his career.
A decent Shortstop, Clint Barmes is more of a trivia question in Rockies lore as he was the starter in that position prior to Troy Tulowitzki.  Barmes still had four seasons where he had more than 100 Hits, one of which saw him smack 23 Home Runs, the most of his career.  Defensively, he would have a 3.2 bWAR in 2006, which was good enough for second in the National League that year.  Barmes played for Colorado in 665 Games over eight years.
