Newsbreakers

October 16, 2009

According to InsidetheRockies.com, catcher Chris Iannetta will be the team's starter behind the plate next season. Iannetta began this season as the starter, but was replaced by Yorvit Torrealba as the everyday man in the second half.

Our View:

Many thought Iannetta was primed for a breakout offensive season this year, but he was a huge disappointment. At times he showed the power that was expected, but his .228 average just wasn't good enough. He might worth a late-round gamble again next season, but fantasy owners should put all their eggs in his basket again.

September 29, 2009

Chris Iannetta became an instant hero for the Rockies on Tuesday night when he blasted a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the 11th inning to give them a 7-5 walk-off winner.

Our View:

Iannetta has started just one game since September 11th and has just one game with four at-bats all month, so he's pretty much been fantasy irrelevant, but the Rockies are riding high right now because of his one big swing.

September 3, 2009

Chris Iannetta had a nice afternoon at the plate on Thursday in the Rockies' 8-3 loss to the Mets. Iannetta went 2-for-4 with a triple, a homer, a run scored, and an RBI in the loss.

Our View:

Iannetta has largely been a fantasy disappointment this season, and his average is still at .223 for the season. He has shown some power with 15 homers and 50 RBI, but the team has shown that they will sit him in favor or Yorvit Torrealba if he struggles.

August 21, 2009

The Denver Post is reporting that the Rockies may sit catcher Chris Iannetta for the second straight game on Friday as he tries to get out of his most recent slump. Iannetta is hitting .195 in the month of August, and his average is at .221 on the season.

Our View:

Iannetta has struggled all season, but his power is keeping him relevant in fantasy circles. He has 14 homers and 49 RBI, which aren't bad out of a catcher, but if he doesn't start bringing his average up he may find himself on the bench. If Iannetta is your starter, it may be time to see if there is another option out there. If not, which is likely since the catching pool in free agency can be very thin, stick with him and take the 0-for-4 nights for the chance at the occasional home run.

August 14, 2009

Chris Iannetta hit a dramatic three run home run in the ninth inning on Friday night to bring the Rockies to within one of the Marlins, but they couldn't close the deal, as Florida won 6-5 at home.

Our View:

With 14 home runs and 49 RBI this season, Iannetta is a solid-option at backstop.
