Fantasy Analysis
The Rockies have used Chris Nelson, Jordan Pacheco and Jonathan Herrera at the hot corner this season, but it seems they are just keeping the job warm until the Rockies are confident Arenado is ready for the majors. Pacheco has been playing the hot corner primarily as of late, but he's more suited for a utility role with Colorado, so he doesn't appear to be a long-term threat to Arenado's ascension to the majors. The only thing lacking right now for Arenado is his home run abilities. It would seem a promotion to Triple-A is in the cards before a promotion to the majors. Arenado has the ability to be an impact bat upon his arrival to the majors, so he is worth stashing in deep seasonal formats, particularly NL-only. It goes without saying as well that he remains a viable long-term keeper. (Updated 05/22/2012).
03/23/2012 12:16 Rockies camp report: Likes, dislikes
There's a lot to like about the 1-2 punch of Tulo and CarGo in Colorado's lineup, but Jon Heyman says leadoff man Dexter Fowler has to hit more than he has. A young rotation is a concern, as well as a lack of closing experience.
03/23/2012 12:03 Rockies camp report: Lineup is solid, but young staff must grow up fast
The Tulo and CarGo Show will benefit from veteran additions like Michael Cuddyer and Marco Scutaro, but Jon Heyman says the Rockies' playoff hopes rest on how a talented, young pitching staff fares in Coors Field.
03/23/2012 00:34 Spring primer: Colorado Rockies
Few teams were as disappointing in 2011 as the Rockies, as Ubaldo Jimenez struggled and then found himself out of town. Jimenez's trade was the first of many moves the Rockies made in reaction to the 73-89 season, with the biggest offseason acquisition being the signing of Michael Cuddyer, who should find Coors Field to his liking.
At a position littered with minor-league talent, Nolan Arenado stands out as a prospect with true star potential. Of course, playing in the Rockies system helps his cause -- anyone who projects to get consistent at-bats at Coors Field has the potential to be a big-time contributor in Fantasy -- but Arenado's skill set would translate anywhere. For a middle-of-the-order hitter, he's exceptionally good at making contact, striking out just 53 times in 517 at-bats, which explains his .302 batting average in 1,093 career minor-league at-bats. Though Arenado has yet to advance to the upper levels of the minors, the Rockies have such a gaping hole at third base, where a washed-up Casey Blake is currently in the mix to start, that a midseason arrival isn't out of the question. More likely, though, a September callup is in order for the 20-year-old. As long as the Rockies don't make a move to block him before the trade deadline, Arenado is in line to take over at the hot corner full-time in 2013. Long-term keeper owners will want to make a play for him now. (Updated 1/18/12)
