“As the Colorado Rockies have continued to plummet in the standings, losing 16 of the last 23 games, there has been one player who has proven that he deserves to be in the everyday lineup.”
The Kevin Pillar acquisition has left “little room” in the Colorado outfield for Garrett Hampson. It could simply mean that Hampson moves into the infield, says RoxPile’s Aaron Hurt. Hampson has been swinging a hot bat and reasons to remain in the lineup for the foreseeable future; he went 4-for-8 in the two game set against the Giants, and tallied two more hits on Friday night.
