Newsbreakers
December 28, 2009
According to ESPN, the Cubs and Rockies have discussed a trade for Ryan Spilborghs.
Our View:
Spilborghs hit .241 in 352 at-bats a season ago. Considering that was in the thin air of Colorado, a move to Chicago might not do wonders for his bat or the Cubs' beleaguered outfield.
November 30, 2009
The Rockies plan on keeping outfielder Ryan Spilborghs unless "they receive a substantial offer," according to Fox Sports.
Our View:
Spilborghs is eligible for arbitration for this time this winter, and is represented by superagent Scott Boras. Despite many interested parties, like Atlanta and the White Sox, he'll likely remain in Colorado in 2010.
November 14, 2009
The Phillies are reportedly interested in trade talks with the Rockies regarding outfielder Ryan Spilborghs, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post.
Our View:
That is of course if the Rockies are willing to deal Spilborghs and go with another in-house option like Matt Murton. The Phillies would like to add him to improve their outfield depth and another option as a pinch-hitter and runner.
October 11, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs will make the start in place of Brad Hawpe for Sunday night's game against the Phillies, according to the AP. Manager Jim Tracy feels that Spilborghs, who hit .241 this season, is a better option against lefties than Hawpe.
Our View:
Spilborghs has a knack for coming through in the clutch. He is 1-for-4 with a double and a walk in this series, but the move is still somewhat of a surprise given that Hawpe was an All-Star this season.
August 25, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs hit the home run that may ultimately clinch the National League wild card, socking a back-breaking grand slam in the 14th inning against the Giants on Monday night, leading the Rockies to 6-4 win and four-game lead over their division rivals for the NL's final playoff spot.
Our View:
Despite his heroics, Spilborghs only has eight RBI in August, and is a fringe-option in smaller NL-only leagues.
July 21, 2009
According to FoxSports.com, the Phillies are interested in Rockies' outfielder Ryan Spilborghs. Philly reportedly offered two decent pitching prospects to the Rockies in exchange for Spilborghs, but the Rockies turned the deal down because they value him as a player and as a clubhouse presence.
Our View:
The Phillies are already loaded in the outfield, as all three of their starters played in this year's All-Star game, but they would like to have a guy like Spilborghs on the bench to spell the aging Raul Ibanez. Don't expect the Phils to offer much more than they already have, and if the Rockies decide to move Spilborghs the Phillies may be their only partner.
July 20, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs' wife went into labor this morning, and he is unavailable for Monday's game against Arizona at Coors Field, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
It is uncertain how many games Spilborghs may miss while attending to his wife, and he should be held out of fantasy lineups until further notice.
June 30, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 4-2 loss at the Dodgers. He hit a double and a two-run homer off Randy Wolf.
Our View:
Spilborghs ended a 16-game drought without a homer, and has six for the season. He only had one hit over his last nine at-bats heading into tonight's game as well.
June 10, 2009
The Phillies and Tigers have joined the Boston Red Sox as teams who are reportedly interested in Rockies left fielder Ryan Spilborghs.
Our View:
Spilborghs has quietly had a solid 2009 season, batting .259 while driving in 26 runs and swiping six bases. His best value might be as a super-sub on a contender rather than a starter on a middling team like the Rockies. He has no real fantasy value in either scenario, though.
June 6, 2009
According to the Denver Post, Ryan Spilborghs could be on the trading block with the recent promotion of Triple-A outfielder Carlos Gonzalez.
Our View:
Spilborghs now stands as Colorado's fifth outfielder. He's not a great player, but still should be getting everyday at-bats somewhere. The Red Sox, Rays, Barves and Cubs have been rumored to be interested.
May 27, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs was 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Dodgers.
Our View:
Spilborghs is having a decent season, but his numbers (.273-4-22) aren't strong enough for an outfielder in mixed leagues. He's an NL-only option though.
May 20, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in the Rockies' 12-4 loss to the Braves. Spilborghs is hitting .277 on the year.
Our View:
Spilborghs is still an NL-only option, but that's about all he is. He is a decent hitter, but he doesn't have much power. He will steal some bases and score some runs, but he is still just an average fantasy player.
May 2, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs went 3-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's 5-1 win at the Giants. He crushed two homers and one single.
Our View:
Spilborghs only had one homer over his first 21 games heading into today, and ended up hitting two in a pitcher's park (AT&T Park).
April 26, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs was 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Rockies' 10-4 win over the Dodgers on Sunday. The homer was his first on the year.
Our View:
Spilborghs was moved down to the third spot in the order and it payed off Sunday. He's been red hot lately and after his 2-for-4 performance is hitting .295 this season.
April 22, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs went 4-for-5 in the leadoff spot for the Rockies on Wednesday, but his team still lost 2-0 to the Diamondbacks. He had one stolen base to go with his four singles.
Our View:
Spilborghs has not hit nearly as well as he showed this spring, and he had been benched in two straight games as a result. Hopefully, today's performance will be enough to keep in the lineup going forward, but we expect he'll still see at least one off day per week.
April 8, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs Ryan Spilborghs moved over to right field as rookie Dexter Fowler made his first start of the season in Wednesday's 9-2 win over the Diamondbacks. He also hit third instead of leadoff and finished the game 2-for-5 with his third double of the season, a run scored and two RBI.
Our View:
Spilborghs may be too good to remove from the lineup. He hits for good average and also provides plus defense. Hopefully for his fantasy owners he will not lose playing time to Fowler.
March 24, 2009
Outfielder Ryan Spilborghs went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI and a steal in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.
Our View:
Spilborghs continues to have an outstanding spring. He has the talent to blossom and help fantasy teams in 2009. The downside is that stud prospects Dexter Fowler and Carlos Gonzalez are only a half-step away.
March 15, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs was 1-for-4 with his first home run of the spring in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Dodgers.
Our View:
Spilborghs is having a fine spring as he is hitting .310 with nine RBI in 29 at-bats. He is the favorite to win the starting center field job, and he should provide solid, if not spectacular production while keeping the spot warm for Dexter Fowler.
February 28, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs has left camp with the Rockies to mourn the death of his mother, according to the Denver Post. His mother's death was caused by a lung ailment.
Our View:
There is no timetable for his return to the Rockies, and we wish him and his family thes best during their time of grief.
February 19, 2009
Ryan Spilborghs could bat leadoff for Colorado this season following the departure of Willy Taveras, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
He only swiped seven bags over 233 at-bats last season, but held a solid .407 OBP. He is worth drafting as a No. 5 outfielder for fantasy leagues.
