Analysis:
While his role behind the plate is diminishing, Rosario will likely still be in the mix to catch for the Rockies if needed, but he's going to have a chance to serve as the primary backup to Justin Morneau at first base. Further, the Rockies could use Rosario at first on days when the team is facing a left-handed starter, as Morneau is ideally suited for a strict platoon.
