Rockies Register

When you have a prospect like Nolan Arenado, you have to think about how he’s going to make his debut and move his way up the chain.  The Rockies came one step closer to bringing Arenado up when they sent third baseman Ty Wiggington to the Phillies for a player to be named later or cash consideration.

Wiggington has been solid but Arenado has been special.  He hit .298 and drove in 122 runs in Class A this year and then he went on and won the AFL MVP award.  The Rockies do have some backup plans though because they have Ian Stewart in the wings and they also signed Brandon Wood to a minor league deal.  This should be fun spring as we get to see who rises to the top in this competition.
