Purple Row After Dark: Who’s a player whose Rockies career you wish wasn’t cut short?

This could be due to injuries, being traded/released, losing them to free agency, etc.

Yesterday in The Feed, porter_engle asked the question “Name the Rockies draft pick you wish had turned out better.” They then identified Kyle Hancock as their pick, and asked the community to weigh in.

I’d like to spin that off this evening in the form of a different question:

Who’s a player whose Rockies career you wish wasn’t cut short, either due to injuries, being traded/released, walking in free agency, etc.?

For me, it’s always going to be Troy Tulowitzki. He was my first favorite Rockie, and he was on a potential Hall of Fame trajectory if his entire baseball career wasn’t marred by injuries. And then, of course, he was also traded to the Toronto Blue Jays, which left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth for a very long time.

What about you?
