Senzatela is a favorite to land one of the Rockies' final two rotation spots, Nick Groke and Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post report.
Despite not appearing in a game above Double-A in his brief career, the Rockies have been thoroughly impressed with the 22-year-old's professional performance thus far and seem determined to get him to Denver as soon as possible. Senzatela's spring performance hasn't been eye-popping (4.97 ERA, 1.58 WHIP in 25.1 innings pitched), but the Rockies are placing an emphasis on limiting walks, and the right-hander has done just that, as displayed by his stellar 19:3 K:BB this spring. Senzatela seems to be lined up to be the fifth starter, with Kyle Freeland landing the fourth rotation spot and German Marquez heading to the bullpen to act as a long reliever to begin the season.
