Newsbreakers

September 22, 2009

Clint Barmes went 3-for-4 with an inside the park home run and three RBI in the Rockies 11-10 win over the Padres on Tuesday.

Our View:

Barmes has surprised many with his numbers this season. The homer was his 23rd (his previous career high being 11) and he's driven in 76. The .245 average is low, but it's offset by his power numbers.

August 19, 2009

Clint Barmes led the way offensively for the Rockies on Wednesday as Colorado beat the Nationals 5-4. Barmes went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, a run scored, and an RBI.

Our View:

Barmes is only hitting .251 on the season, and he has cooled off sgnificantly in August after getting hot earlier this season. He has 20 homers this season, and the power numbers are keeping him legitimate in fantasy circles.

August 8, 2009

The Denver Post reports that Clint Barmes is not in the Rockies lineup for Saturday's contest.

Our View:

Omar Quintanilla will take Barmes' spot for the second straight game, while the second baseman works on his mechanics in the batting cage. This may become a regular trend against right-handed starters.

July 30, 2009

Clint Barmes led the Rockies in tonight's 4-2 win at New York, as he went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer off Jon Niese.

Our View:

Barmes homered in two of his last three games, and has six homers in July. He is only batting .202 this month, but looks to remain a nice source for power.

July 17, 2009

Clint Barmes hit a three run home run and scored two runs as the Rockies dismantled the Padres 10-1 in San Diego on Thursday.

Our View:

Barmes just keeps hitting and should be owned in all but the smallest of mixed leagues at this point.

July 7, 2009

Clint Barmes went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a steal on Tuesday, as the Rockies edged the Nats 4-3 at home.

Our View:

Barmes just keeps hitting, and there is no longer any excuse for him not being owned in most formats.

July 4, 2009

Clint Barmes clubbed his tenth home run of the season on Saturday, and drove in two runs, but the Rockies fell to the Diamondbacks 9-6 at home.

Our View:

Barmes has cooled off a bit in recent days, but is still an acceptable option at second base or shortstop in deeper mixed or NL-only leagues.

June 28, 2009

Clint Barmes logged a great all-around performance on Saturday, going 3-for-5 with his ninth home run and his sixth stolen base of the season.

Our View:

Barmes continues to excel atop the Rockies lineup and, if he's still available, should certainly be looked at in mixed formats with his nice mix of power and speed.

June 21, 2009

Clint Barmes led the Rockies in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies at Coors Field, as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI. He hit a double and a solo homer off Paul Maholm.

Our View:

Barmes has two homers and five RBI over his last four games, and is hitting .349 (29-for-83) in June. Keep him active in fantasy leagues while he is hot.

June 18, 2009

Clint Barmes collected two more hits on Thursday, including a home run and two RBIs, in the Rockies 4-3 win over the Rays, and now has twelve multi-hit games in June.

Our View:

If Barmes is supposed to eventually slow down, he's not giving any indication of when. He is a viable option in any format if you are looking for someone at second base.

June 16, 2009

Clint Barmes had his eleventh multi-hit game of the month on Tuesday, but the Rockies still lost 12-4 to Tampa Bay.

Our View:

Barmes has risen his average from .262 to .291 during the stretch and has become an undeniable fantasy option. He likely won't keep hitting like this, but if you need offense, he is a low-risk option.

June 8, 2009

Clint Barmes went 2-for-4 on Monday for his sixth consecutive multi-hit game. He also added two RBIs as the Rockies won 5-2 to complete a four game sweep of the Cardinals.

Our View:

It's beginning to look a little bit like 2005 again for Barmes, who may finally be living up to the brilliant potential he displayed that season before he got hurt. While he's still not a brilliant option at second base, he is a decent one, and should be considered for an add if you are in need of offense or someone to man the two bag.

June 7, 2009

Clint Barmes went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

Our View:

Barmes has put together a fine campaign this season and has emerged as a decent option at second base, even in mixed leagues. He now has five consecutive multi-hit games.

May 30, 2009

Clint Barmes went 4-for-5 with an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Padres at Coors Field. He had two doubles, a single and a triple.

Our View:

Barmes registered multiple hits in a game for the seventh time this season. He has an RBI in three of his last five games as well.

March 31, 2009

Clint Barmes had another three hit day on Tuesday, going a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate with an RBI and two runs scored. He's now hitting .373 this spring.

Our View:

Barmes was flirting with .400 around the All Star break in 2005 until a tragic deer meat accident cost him his season and his starting job for years to come. Now he looks to be the Rockies new second baseman. He'll hit for a decent average and has moderate pop (11 HR in 393 at-bats in '08) for a middle infielder, but isn't considered an exciting option at second base. He's a decent play in NL-only leagues though.

March 30, 2009

Clint Barmes went 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored as the Rockies beat the Diamondbacks 10-3 on Monday.

Our View:

Barmes is now hitting .339 this spring and it appears that he is the front runner for the starting second base job. He hit .290 last season and will likely hit No. 8 in the Rockies order in 2009.

March 7, 2009

Clint Barmes was a home run short of the cycle against San Francisco on Saturday, going 4-for-4 with four RBI.

Our View:

Barmes is now 7-for-15 this spring with five extra-base hits (two triples, three doubles) and is becoming more and more of a lock to enter 2009 as Colorado's everyday second baseman.

February 18, 2009

Skipper Clint Hurdle indicated that Clint Barmes is the top candidate to start at second base, according to the Denver Post. Hurdle said, "Clint Barmes had a very strong season for us there last season. Going in, he is going to get first look. Jeff Baker did some very good things when he was there. Depending on what kind of lineup we want to throw out there as far as matchups go, I think you will see playing time with both of them."

Our View:

Barmes could serve as a decent middle infielder for deeper fantasy leagues, if he can just stay healthy.

January 20, 2009

The Rockies have avoided salary arbitration with Clint Barmes by inking the infielder to a one-year deal for $1.625 million, according to the Denver Post. He can pocket an additional $25,000 if he makes the All-Star team.

Our View:

Barmes looks to roam second base in 2009, and could serve as a decent middle infielder for deeper fantasy leagues, if he can just remain intact.
