With Matt Holliday back from the disabled list, the Denver Post reports that Ryan Spilborghs will see increased playing time in center field at the expense of Willy Taveras. "Obviously, I am not going to make all the plays that Willy Taveras can make, but a good center fielder, which I think I am, is going to make the routine plays," Spilborghs said. "If it happens, it happens. I think I have shown that I can definitely play every day." Taveras is an elite defensive player and has gone 23-for-25 stealing bases, but is batting just .234/.290/.274 in 54 games.
Pretty excited about this as a rockies fan. In deeper leagues or leagues with 4 OF spots he's a nice pickup

He had the most RBI's (or 2nd most) for a batter with under 250 AB's last year. He's a good ball player and his eye is seemingly getting better. His Career BB/k ratio isn't that good I don't think (As good as it is this year)

probably wont sustain, but i think it will be quite good. in the minors his bb/k was .631. not sure how good that really is, but comparing to minor league numbers of some other guys: sizemore .795 granderson .366 bruce .384 francouer .336 holliday .594 bay .684 so what does this mean? i have no idea. but i think he'll be fine
