Monday, December 01, 2008 (12/01/2008 11:02:00 AM) - Al According to the Denver Post, the Rockies have "told Ryan Spilborghs to play center field in Mexico this month to prepare for an everyday role." The newspaper reports that the Rockies are looking to trade Willy Taveras, which would clear the path for Spilborghs to start in center field. A career .302/.374/.466 hitter with 21 homers, 109 RBI, 104 runs and 16 steals in 765 plate appearances, Spilborghs would be a nice sleeper if he emerges with an everyday job.--Rotoworld He is an excellent guy to keep an eye on. Many folks seem to think there's some sort of magical wall between a starter and a reserve, but in truth, the difference is often just opportunity or plate appearances. Taveras is not a bad player by any means, but the problem lies in him getting 550 AB's, much like Juan Pierre. As backups making $1M, both are bargains. 12/01/2008 11:02:00 AM |
