I'm thinking about starting a Rockies franchise because I feel like it may be a pretty tough challenge.

I've actually never played as Colorado, but after I run the Brewers for a while, Colorado was next on my list.
I'd probably use my free agent money on position players myself, and try to draft, develop, and trade for young pitchers that can adapt to altitude, or at least have pitches in their arsenal that suggest they might not be as affected by it.
I always wondered what having high velocity sinker ballers with extreme ground ball profiles in the rotation could do.
Colorado seems like a very fun team to try.
