Rookie Fowler Goes Yard

Rookie outfielder Dexter Fowler smashed his 2nd home run of the season in the Rockies 7-5 loss to the Phillies. He is batting .385 and 1 stolen base with his 13 at bats. Fowler is one of several outfielders fighting for time in the stacked Colorado outfield. The Rockies currently have starters Brad Hawpe and Ryan Spilborghs starting and rookie Seth Smith splitting time with Fowler, not to mention Carlos González in the minors. Fowler looks to have the edge over Seth Smith at this point, though neither will play everyday. Fowler batted .335 with 9 home runs, 9 triples, 31 doubles and 20 stolen bases in AA Tulsa. So in addition to his pop, he has speed. That is always a deadly combo in Colorado. Sin City Scout
