Friday by Comparison: Arenado Continues to Climb the Rockies Charts
Nolan Arenado has another full season ahead of him before he can become a free agent -- and the Rockies are working to try and avoid having him get that far. Arenado, after all, is making big inroads on the Rockies all-time offensive charts. He doubled on Thursday night, moving ahead of Vinny Castilla into seventh place on the Rockies' all-time list.
He is also seventh with 177 home runs and 588 RBI, and eighth with 497 runs scored.
