My Take
Troy Tulowitzki — "Tulo" to everyone who watched him play — was genuinely one of the most electrifying shortstops of his generation, and I'll always be a little sad his body didn't cooperate with his talent. When he was healthy and locked in with the Colorado Rockies, he was flat-out must-watch baseball: silky smooth in the field, a legit Gold Glove winner, and a middle-of-the-order bat at a position where most guys are happy to hit seventh. The problem, of course, was that Rockies stadium altitude, a brutal injury history, and a stint with Toronto that never quite clicked made his career feel more interrupted than complete. Still, peak Tulo was as good as it gets at shortstop, and he's channeling that expertise into coaching now — which honestly feels right for a guy who made the hard stuff look effortless.
