With Huston Street likely to start the season on the disabled list, Purple Row looks at the sorry state of the Colorado bullpen.

This is just another setback in the Rockies’ bullpen, as setup man Rafael Betancourt has been fighting to get himself back to pitching shape after an offseason plagued with sickness, former closer Manuel Corpas has been challenged by fitness issues and lack of pitch command, and Franklin Morales has been hit around pretty hard this spring.

I wouldn’t worry too much about Morales at this point. Getting hit early in the spring, especially in Arizona, is a rite of passage. Lots of times pitchers are working on things other than trying to get batters out. Still, there should be chances for some young Rockies pitchers to grab hold of a major league jog.
