I only mention that because I got to tell you, Colorado has always been frustrating for me. The combination of real life factors to weigh and balance is difficult enough but ootp seems to go to an extreme, even when you think you've acquired the appropriate talent.
My advice:
If you're a true blue Rockies fan, hang in there, best of luck trying to figure out the best recipe/combination and hopefully things will come together for you moving forward.
If you're not a diehard Rockies fan......get out as fast as you can and start a new save with a team in a normal environment.

I decided on the Rockies because I live in Denver Area and hate their whole front office setup... Seeing if I could do better. AND no.
But you're right there are some real life factors and it seems the game being tipped too heavily towards defense that really makes it hard to win consistently. I am going to start at catcher and then work my way through the middle of the diamond. I think I have found a solution in Frelick (my '21 first rounder) in CF. Adames is just having a bad year at short, his ZR/Def Eff were much better in '21 & '22
Overall I view this as a challenge, but there are many days I want to cut and run...
