One thing Colorado President of Baseball Operations Paul DePodesta has retrained from his Moneyball days of decades ago is an exhaustive search for discarded talent. Enter new Rockies 2B Connor Norby, a 26-year-old in his third major league organization. He’s an imperfect player who’s perhaps not powerful enough to strike out as much as he does, but he’s a decent defender at the keystone, and he’s slashing .355/.394/.613 in his last 13 games with Colorado. That line comes along with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate, so it’s probably not real close to sustainable, but I think there’s upside here for the fantasy game, and second base is not a deep spot. What this means for Charlie Condon, I do not know. Best guess is he’ll join the big league club in September. 

Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Rockies recalled OF Zac Veen (24) and then sat him on the bench Tuesday against Arizona lefthander Mitch Bratt. I suppose they were right to duck him because Bratt spanked them for six innings. Veen should play regularly the rest of this season. That doesn’t mean he will, but he should, and if he does, he’ll provide speed and power with the potential to go nuclear in a head-to-head matchup late on the fantasy calendar. I don’t mean to overstate his impact, but there’s not many guys left roaming the wire who can match his maximum output.
