Colvin tries to be hero : Rockies outfielder Tyler Colvin had one hit in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers, but it was a big one. He hit a solo home run off starter Aaron Harang in the seventh inning, tying the game at one. That would be the only run the Rockies could muster though as they lost the game. Colvin was 1 for 3 in the game. (Updated 05/13/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Colvin has three homers and 11 RBI for Colorado as he's been on a regular basis. He's batting .315 on the year and is vying for at-bats with Dexter Fowler. Despite his nice outing, Colvin is still just an NL-only outfielder option at this time. (Updated 05/13/2012).

05/12/2012 23:58 Harang, Dodgers handle Rockies
Aaron Harang pitched eight solid innings, pinch-hitter Tony Gwynn Jr. hit a go-ahead RBI single, and the Los Angeles Dodgers improved the best record in the majors with a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.
Tyler Colvin comes over to the Rockies from the Cubs this season as he changed addresses for the first time in his major league career. The outfielder is expected to compete for playing time in right, but likely will back up Michael Cuddyer. The 26-year-old Colvin only played in 80 games last season due to injury as he hit a horrendous .150 with six homers and 20 RBI over 206 at-bats. That said, Colvin hit .254 in 2010 for the Cubs with 20 homers in 358 at-bats, so he has some pop. The move to Coors Field should help that pop, but we doubt Colvin will see enough consistent playing time to matter outside NL-only Fantasy leagues. (Updated 2/8/12)
