He went 1 for 3 with his sixth home run of the season on Saturday, a two-run shot in the seventh inning off of Mariners’ starter Jason Vargas, however the Rockies would lose the game, 10-3.

Fantasy Analysis
Rosario has been playing more recently, with four starts in the last six games, however his struggles making contact have begun to be exposed. His batting average is down to .215 on the season, however he is showing a very strong home-run swing with his six home runs coming in just 65 at bats. He has solid potential after hitting 40 home runs combined over the past two seasons in the minors, however he has struck out in almost one-third of his at bats on the season and should be left for just deep NL-only formats.

If pure power was all a player needed to become a dynamic Fantasy option, Wilin Rosario would rank second among all catcher prospects, behind only Jesus Montero. Unfortunately, it isn't, and by every other measurement, Rosario took a big step backward in 2011. Playing his second stint at Double-A Tulsa after shutting down early in 2010 because of a torn ACL, he produced a .249 batting average and a .284 on-base percentage, which are the kind of numbers you'd expect from Rod Barajas. Rosario has the upside for more, of course, but his poor plate discipline is hardly new and doesn't seem to be getting better. Rosario did get a few starts in the majors down the stretch, so the Rockies don't think he's far off. That's partially why they traded Chris Iannetta to the Angels this offseason, though they also signed Ramon Hernandez as a placeholder -- or perhaps platoon partner -- for Rosario. Even if the rookie opens the year in the majors, he has enough question marks offensively that he isn't worth drafting in standard mixed leagues, despite his potential. (Updated 1/18/12)
