Troy Tulowitzki lost much of the 2012 season with a nagging groin injury. He was limited to 47 games and eventually underwent surgery to remove scar tissue.
He is hoping to bounce back this coming season with improved health and more Colorado wins.
"The two years before, I won the Silver Slugger and the Gold Glove," Tulowitzki said. "After what happened last year, you're always hungry. You want to win those again. But to win for our team is more important. It's important to just go out again and be with those guys, go through the journey, whether it's good or bad."
The Rockies have taken a step back since Tulowitzki signed a $157.5 million extension to keep him in Denver through 2020, but those are the words of a man who is in it for the long haul, good times and bad.
