Joining the Rockies in 2012, Tyler Chatwood had his best season in 2016 where he went 12 and 9 with 117 Strikeouts.  This had to be especially sweet as Chatwood missed most of 2014 and all of 2015 recovering from Tommy John surgery.  The hurler played with Colorado until the end of 2017, after he went to the Chicago Cubs as a Free Agent.  With the Rockies, he showed a record of 34-35 with 364 Strikeouts.
The last really good season of Michael Cuddyer’s career was with the Colorado Rockies in 2013, the second of three seasons he would play for the team.  That year, he was an All Star, a Silver Slugger and won his lone Batting Title.  Cuddyer’s numbers wit Colorado saw him post a respectable Slash Line of .307/.362/.525.
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.
