Scutaro sent to Colorado: After a previous deal reportedly crumbled, Boston agreed Saturday to trade SS Marco Scutaro to Colorado in exchange for SP Clayton Mortensen, according to the Denver Post. The two teams initially discussed a deal for Scutaro earlier this week before the trade fell through. Scutaro, who turned 36 years old in October, finished with seven homers and 64 RBI last season while boasting a .299 batting average. (Updated 01/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Scutaro is slated to take over second base for the Rockies, who received marginal production at the position last season. Colorado has shown an interest in Scutaro for several months and pictures him as a solid No. 2 hitter in the batting order. Scutaro was limited to just 113 games last season because of a wrist injury, but should be ready for opening day. Consider him a low-end option in NL-only Fantasy formats for 2012.

It's time for owners to start looking ahead to Draft Day. We get you off and running with our 12-team Rotisserie mock draft. Check out the results!
Marco Scutaro's 2011 season got off to a bad start, as he lost the starting shortstop job to Jed Lowrie and then missed time with an oblique injury. Then when Lowrie dealt with his own health issues, Scutaro got a second chance and ran with it. He finished the year with a career-best .299 batting average, as he struck out in only nine percent of his at-bats. Now both Scutaro and Lowrie are gone from Boston, as the Red Sox dealt Scutaro to the Rockies, who plan to use him as their everyday second baseman. With little competition for playing time, Scutaro's value should surge, and he gets the additional benefit of playing home games at Coors Field. He could become a doubles machine in Colorado, making him a good late-round option in mixed Head-to-Head leagues, and he could be worth a flier in Rotisserie leagues as well. (Updated 1/27/12)
