The Colorado Rockies have been positively cursed since alienating and trading Nolan Arenado but the tea leaves are finally starting to change.

The Colorado Rockies farm system has seen a wave of promotions and intriguingly excellent performances over the last few weeks.

The Colorado Rockies promoted Walker Monfort to Executive Vice President and despite charges of nepotism and "more of the same" Mark Knudson and Drew Creasman see this as a golden opportunity.
