The career of Jason Jennings was not a long one, but it start off spectacularly with a Rookie of the Year in 2002 with a 16 and 8 record.  Jennings never had another winning record after that, though in 2006 he did finish 8th in 2006 for bWAR for Pitchers.  Jennings still finished his Rockies career with a winning record (58-56) and had 622 Strikeouts.
Dexter Fowler would win the World Series in 2016 with the Chicago Cubs and did so in a starring role.  That star first began to shine in Colorado.
A former Minor League Player of the Year, Jeff Francis earned his way into to Rockies rotation and would have a three year run where he would post solid Win/Loss records of (14-12, 13-11 and 17-9).  That latter year he would finish 9th in Cy Young voting and the Southpaw would also make history that year as the first Canadian to win a game in the post season and pitch in the World Series.  Injuries would pile up and he would miss the 2009 season ad he would no longer be the player he once was.  He would leave Colorado for Kansas City, though would come back for a second stint in the Mile High City.

118. Tim Hudson

A four-time All-Star, Tim Hudson spread those accolades over three teams (Oakland, Atlanta & San Francisco).  Hudson would finish in the top ten in Cy Young voting four times, including a runner-up run in 2000.  He would also finish in the top ten bWAR for Pitcher seven times.  The sinkerball specialist would win 223 Games, an excellent number for his era, and most notably, made history by becoming the oldest Pitcher to start a Game 7 in the World Series, a game that his San Francisco Giants won, giving him his lone World Series ring.
