Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Colorado Rockies.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Rockies had an awful year, winning only 61 Games.  The year did see two new entrants based on last season, and one return based on the new algorithm.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes

1. Todd Helton

2. Larry Walker

3. Nolan Arenado

4. Troy Tulowitzki

5. Charlie Blackmon

You can find the entire list here.

Pitcher Kyle Freeland moved up one spot to #13. 

Infielder Ryan McMahon advanced to #17 from #25.

Pitcher Antonio Senzatela, who was inactive most of the year due to injury, held his spot at #42.

Shortstop and last year’s Gold Glove winner, Ezequiel Tovar, debuts at #44.

Second Baseman, and current free agent, Brendan Rodgers enters at #46.

Pitcher Jerry Dipoto makes his return to the list based on the new algorithm.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Selected third overall in 2015 as the heir apparent to the Rockies' middle infield, Brendan Rodgers carried the "can’t-miss" tag for years. While he eventually secured a starting role, his time in Denver hasn't been the smooth ascent many predicted; instead, it has been a stop-and-start journey.

Rodgers’ tenure reached its clear defensive peak in 2022, a season where he finally stayed healthy enough to showcase his pedigree. He didn't just play second base; he dominated it, leading all National League second basemen in defensive runs saved and total zone runs. His 2.9 defensive bWAR was an elite outlier that earned him a Gold Glove, proving he had the specialized range to turn hits into outs.

Offensively, he backed up his fielding with a career-high 140 hits and 63 RBIs, appearing to finally be the foundational pillar the front office envisioned a decade ago. However, Rodgers’ career has been defined as much by the trainer’s room as the diamond. Since his debut, he has battled a relentless string of setbacks, from shoulder surgeries to hamstring strains. This physical toll reached a frustrating high-leverage point in 2023, when a ruptured capsule in his left shoulder cost him nearly the entire season.

While he returned for a final 135-game stretch in 2024, hitting .267 with 13 home runs, the organization decided to move on after the season, declining to tender the infielder and ending his six-year stint in purple and black.

With the Rockies, Rodgers compiled 449 hits.
