Total Running - Colorado Rockies

I thought it would be interesting to take a look at various teams and their baserunning using the metrics I've created. Starting close to home is the Rockies, who ranked 23rd in all of baseball with a -9.35 runs aggregating all four measures. If you take EqSBR out of the picture, however, they finished 9th at +3.60. The highest they finished in any single category was 6th in EqHAR at +3.91.


This offseason the Rockies have made much of getting faster and the addition of Willy Taveras should certainly help, especially in hit advancement. On the other hand Jamey Carroll (pictured left) is a pretty decent baserunner overall and his playing time looks to decrease with the signing of Kaz Matsui and the emergence of Troy Tulowitzki. Carroll was the victim of some broken hit and run plays to be sure although he also has a tendency to get picked off. In addition, the core players who get on base in Garrett Atkins, Todd Helton, Matt Holiday, and Brad Hawpe will continue to be mediocre to poor and so as a team I wouldn't look for them to improve by much.
