In years past, the sight of the Colorado Rockies' bullpen doors swinging open was usually accompanied by groans from their fans and players alike. Led by setup men Adam Ottavino and Mike Dunn and new closer Greg Holland, the Rockies' refurbished relief corps posted five saves and two wins in the first week of the season, providing an early positive return on general manager Jeff Bridich's offseason fix. Slugger Carlos Gonzalez said it's comforting to know that when the starting pitcher hits the showers, the Rockies finally have a bullpen that can finish the job.
