Strikeouts have limited Colvin's average his entire career, leading to a .248/.297/.473 career slash line. While Colvin did hit .290 last season, his numbers were propped up by a .364 BABIP. Colvin's career BABIP is .297, so that's way out of line for him. Colvin struck out 23.5 percent of the time in Triple-A this year, and he doesn't figure to get much better in the majors. As Colvin has shown, he's capable of hitting for solid power. But he's definitely going to struggle to hit much higher than .250 unless he starts striking out less. 

Colvin homered twice Tuesday, both of which came with one runner on, as he drove in four runs in an 8-3 win. Colvin went 2 for 4 overall in the game, scoring twice and striking out twice as well. 

Prior to the game, Weiss praised Colvin's early play. 

"Tyler has done great in the short time he's been here," Weiss told MLB.com. "He's squared up some balls that didn't get through and drove in a run with another single. He's taken some very good at-bats."

Colvin batted .293 with a .914 OPS at Colorado Springs, after failing to make the team out of spring training. Colvin hit .290 with an .857 OPS last season for the Rockies. 

Colvin also has two triples, four doubles, four home runs, 14 RBI and 14 runs. Colvin has spent the entire season in the minors following his demotion at the end of spring training.

But does Colvin deserve the widespread dropping in Fantasy leagues? When Colvin was demoted, manager Walt Weiss said he just needed to iron things out with his swing. In the meantime, Michael Cuddyer can play some first base to spell Helton, with Eric Young playing the outfield. Colvin hit .290 last year, with 18 home runs and seven steals in 420 at-bats. If it's just a matter of getting some swings in, he could work things out and be back up in a couple of weeks. However, he may not have a role when he does, with Helton at first and the outfield full.

I'm holding Colvin in my deeper mixed leagues and NL-only formats, but if someone drops Drew Stubbs, for instance, Colvin's going to be my first cut. I was very high on Colvin early -- I still am -- but it's tough to see where he fits in. If he's traded, it's a different story entirely. But if Colvin is recalled and relegated to a bench role, he may not be worth the roster spot.
