The Rockies need to decide what to do with Rex Brothers, who hasn’t materialized into the closer they had hoped he could become. In fact, Brothers spent more time at Triple-A Albuquerque in 2015 than he did with the big league club.
Former Major League pitcher and host of Sports Stampede on Mile High Sports AM 1340, Mark Knudson, says it’s time for the Rockies to give up on Brothers and let him try to find success with another club.
“He needs a change of scenery,” Knudson says about Brothers. “Some different voices, a different method, would be good for him.”
Knudson thinks the previous regime running the Rockies got into his head (sound familiar, Tyler Matzek?) and Brothers simply needs a fresh start elsewhere.
“Other guys have struggled here and gone on to success elsewhere,” (See: Drew Pomeranz) says Knudson. “He just needs a different view.”
However Renaud Notaro, long a fan of Brothers, says the Rockies shouldn’t be so quick to throw in the towel.
