Senzatela is making a push to open the year in the Rockies' rotation, The Denver Post's Nick Groke reports.
His fastball command was so stellar in his start Monday that he went back out for the fifth inning despite a pre-planned four-inning limit. He now has a 2.38 ERA over four spring appearances (11.1 innings), and appears to have a non-zero chance of opening the year in the big league rotation even without having ever pitched at Triple-A. There seems to be five more qualified options ahead of him on the depth chart, but he is in the mix if someone else stumbles or gets hurt, which means he needs to be on the radar in deep NL-only leagues.
