Six Yard Goats Named to Eastern League All-Star Team | MiLB.com
The Hartford Yard Goats, the Double-A Eastern League affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, boasts a talented roster, and the team is being rewarded with six players being named to the Eastern League All-Star team. Brendan Rodgers (PuRP No. 1), Peter Lambert (PuRP No. 4), Sam Hilliard (PuRP No. 17), Yonathan Daza (PuRP No. 19), Matt Pierpont (PuRP No. 43), and Rule 5 pick Mitch Horacek have all been given the honor.
Rodgers is leading the Eastern League in total bases and extra-base hits, as the consensus top Rockies prospect and former third overall pick continues to prove his worth for the organization.
