Ian Stewart

DenverPost.com - Tulowitzki gives glimpse of future

Within this article are a couple of interesting facts for Rotisserie players to know.

The first is the intention to move 3B Ian Stewart to the OF:

"And with what (third baseman) Garrett Atkins has done, what it says is that Ian will be part of our team eventually at a different position. Where and when will depend on how he does and how the players do in front of him."

This takes even more glimmer off Stewarts star. Why? Ask Jeff Baker.

The Rockies already have Matt Holliday in LF, and if Brad Hawpe sticks, then only the right side of a platoon is available in RF.

For CF, the article reports:

"The Rockies are expected to address center field through trade or free agency, with Coco Crisp and Eric Byrnes among those on the radar in the offseason. "

I believe AAA CF Jeff Salazar deserves a look-see before the Rockies commit to Byrnes or Coco Crisp.

If Crisp struggles defensively in Fenway, wouldn't he do the same with even more ground in Coors and the inability of the Rockies to thicken the air?

And Byrnes? Didn't they try that already?

Trade Coco for Stewart and a pitcher? As a Red Sox fan, I say do that in an instance.
