Colorado Rockies outfield prospects Raimel Tapia and David Dahl are switching places for the upcoming AFL (Arizona Fall League), according to a report from MLB Pipeline on Oct. 8.
Dahl (PuRP No. 2) had a tumultuous season in 2015, dealing with a scary collision and the subsequent removal of his spleen only to return strong and be setback yet again by a minor knee issue. It is only speculation -- but one feels relatively safe with it -- to think that health is a factor in keeping Dahl out of the AFL. With an expected move to Triple-A in 2016, many Rockies fans were salivating at images of Dahl emulating Nolan Arenado from a few years ago by storming the AFL and then MLB not too long after.
