The career of Venezuelan Pitcher, Jhoulys Chacin has been riddled with inconsistency but he was with Colorado long enough in his first run (124 Games from 2009 to 2014) and had enough decent starts to earn this rank.  Chacin would actually twice finish in the top ten in bWAR for Pitchers, including a 5th place finish in 2013.  Chacin returned in 2021, but in the role of Releif Pitcher.
A three-time All-Star with the Rockies, Brian Fuentes would find his niche when he became the team’s closer in 2005.  He would have three seasons where he would have over 30 Saves and would have 115 in total for the team.  As of this writing, he is definitely the best closer in franchise history.  

He signed with the Angels in 2009 and had his best season with an American League leading 48 Saves.
As of this writing, Charlie Blackmon has been with the Colorado Rockies for thirteen seasons, and in the late 2010s, he was one of the best players in the game..  

Playing in the Outfield, Blackmon would have his first All-Star season in 2014, which was the first year that he was a regular starter.  Blackmon would increase his power numbers, and in 2016, he would belt 29 Home Runs with a  .324 Batting Average and a Silver Slugger Award.  As good as that was, Blackmon built on that to become the Rockies; top star over the last three seasons.  In those years, he went to the All-Star Game, had at least 29 Home Runs and had two .300 years.  His best season to date was in 207, where he finished first in the National League in Runs Scored (137), Hits (213), Triples (14), and won the Batting Title (.331).  Blackmon would also have an even 1.000 OPS, and finished fifth in MVP voting.

Blackmon began to decline in 2020, but he remained with the Rockies until he retired in 2024.  He left behind 1,805 Hits and 227 Home Runs for the cliub.
Jorge de la Rosa is as of this writing the Colorado Rockies pitcher with the best Winning Percentage at Coors Field and would four times exceed 10 Wins in a season, twice winning as many as 16.  The Mexican hurler finished third in Wins in the NL twice.  He posted a record of 86-61 and 985 Strikeouts.
