The veteran shortstop has continued to struggle with the bat in spring training. Entering Saturday’s game versus the Toronto Blue Jays, the same team which paid him $38 million to go away in December, Tulowitzki is two for his last 17 with 10 strikeouts.
Those numbers are, in a word, ugly. They stink worse than Shrek’s breath in the morning. For anyone else playing for the league minimum, an assignment to the minors or an outright cut would have already happened.
Not Troy Tulowitzki, though. No, he seems to have the full support of both management and the front office.
