Newsbreakers

September 12, 2009

Ian Stewart (back) is back in the Rockies' starting lineup on Saturday night, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:

He's at third base and batting sixth.

September 8, 2009

Ian Stewart was scratched from the team's game against the Reds on Tuesday with a sore lower back, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:

The injury is not considered serious, and he will likely be back in the team's lineup at third base sometime later this week.

September 7, 2009

Ian Stewart went 1-for-4 with a solo homer off Carlos Fisher in Monday's 4-3 win over the Reds at Coors Field.

Our View:

Stewart hit a homer in four of six games in August, and has 23 for 2009. He should remain a solid source for power if fantasy owners can deal with his .235 batting average.

September 1, 2009

The Denver Post reports that Ian Stewart is not in Tuesday's lineup due to a family matter.

Our View:

Stewart left the team to be with his wife, who just went into labor with the couple's first child. No word on how many games he'll miss, but it shouldn't be more than a couple.

August 22, 2009

Ian Stewart led the Rockies to a 14-11 win over the Giants on Saturday. Stewart went 2-for-4 with a home run, a run scored, and four RBI in the game.

Our View:

Stewart has been awful this month, but he showed the upside that everyone in Colorado has seen all year tonight. He has been inconsistent this season, but when he is on he can be a huge fantasy performer.

August 20, 2009

On an otherwise good night for the Rockies, Ian Stewart put on the golden sombrero, striking out four times in the Rox 4-1 win in Washington D.C.

Our View:

Stewart is in the the throws of a dreadful August, as he has driven in just six runs, while striking out 18 times.

August 1, 2009

Ian Stewart went 1-for-4 with a single and two RBI in tonight's 6-2 win at Cincinnati.

Our View:

Stewart was in need of a solid outing, as he was hitless over his previous three games (eight at-bats). He snapped a five-game drought without any RBI as well.

July 19, 2009

Ian Stewart returned to the Rockies' lineup with a bang on Sunday as he led the team to a 6-1 win over the Padres. Stewart went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI in the win.

Our View:

Stewart may be hitting only .225 this season, but he has 17 homers and 47 RBI. As an infielder, 17 homers is a very good number, and anyone looking for some power help on your infield should give him a look if he is available. His average should improve some as the season goes on, but he is in the lineup for his power, not his batting average.

July 18, 2009

Ian Stewart was scratched from Saturday's game at San Diego while nursing a tight hamstring, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:

Stewart is not concerned with the ailment, but the Rockies decided to scratch him from the lineup in the best interest of the team. He could return to action as early as Sunday.

July 18, 2009

Ian Stewart drove in two runs on Friday as the Rockies beat the Padres by a score of 5-3. Stewart went 1-for-3 with a double and the two runs batted in.

Our View:

Stewart has put together some nice power numbers this season with 16 home runs, but he is still hitting only .220 on the year. If you need power, he could be a nice pickup, but don't expect a great average.

July 9, 2009

Ian Stewart went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer off Tommy Hanson in tonight's 7-6 win over the Braves at Coors Field. He also drew three walks and scored three runs.

Our View:

Stewart hit his second homer of July, and continues to lead the Rockies with 16. He should remain a solid source for power, if fantasy owners can handle his .223 batting average.

June 20, 2009

Ian Stewart had a big night on Saturday as the Rockies came back to beat the Pirates 9-7. Stewart went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI.

Our View:

After struggling mightily early in the season, Stewart is really starting to take off. Stewart now has 13 homers on the season, an he is starting to produce on a daily basis. If he is available in your league, he may be worth a look if you need some infield help.

June 11, 2009

Ian Stewart continued his assault on NL Central pitching on Thursday, going 2-for-4 with three runs, an RBI and a home run in the Rockies 5-4 victory over Milwaukee.

Our View:

After slumping in the first two games of the Brewers series after killing the Cardinals last weekend, Stewart showed on Thursday that he is in no danger of entering another prolonged slump like the one that dogged him for most of May. He could be worth a flier in deeper mixed leagues and a roster spot in NL only leagues.

June 8, 2009

After going 12 for his last 22, with four home runs and 12 RBIs, Ian Stewart went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts on Monday, but the Rockies still beat the Cardinals 5-2 to complete a four game sweep at Busch Stadium.

Our View:

Stewart has been a menace of late, raising his average from just .180 on June 1 to .229. He could be worth an add until his hot streak ends if you are struggling for offense.

June 6, 2009

Ian Stewart had a massive night in St. Louis on Saturday in the Rockies' 10-1 win over the Cardinals. Stewart went 3-for-4 with two homers, a double, three runs scored, and five RBI.

Our View:

Stewart is starting to heat up, and he is quickly becoming a solid fantasy option. He had a terrible May, but if he keeps hitting like this he should garner some heavy fantasy consideration going forward. Keep tabs on Stewart for the next few weeks, and if he keeps it up he could be a nice addition.

June 5, 2009

Ian Stewart led the Rockies' offensive charge in Friday's 11-4 win at St. Louis, as he went 2-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored. He hit a double and a three-run homer.

Our View:

Stewart has seven hits over his last three games, with two homers and seven RBI over the span. He is finally hitting well after struggling with an anemic .141 batting average in May.

June 3, 2009

Ian Stewart went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and a run scored as the Rockies fell 6-4 on Wednesday. He struck out in both of his other two at bats.

Our View:

Stewart's last hit came on May 24, and tonight's performance shot his average up to .188. He is still not seeing regular playing time and is not worth owning in fantasy leagues.

May 12, 2009

Ian Stewart homered twice in Colorado's 12-1 rout of the Astros on Tuesday. He circled the bases on a solo shot in the fourth and a grand slam in the fifth.

Our View:

The Rockies' prospect now has six homers and 18 RBI, but is hitting just .211 on the season. He'll be a solid player down the road, but isn't quite far enough along to be played in mixed leagues just yet.

May 7, 2009

Ian Stewart hit is fourth home run of the season on Thursday, going 1-for-3 with the homer and two RBI. Stewart is hitting .224 on the year.

Our View:

After a hot start, Stewart has cooled down considerably over the last few weeks. He is still getting in the lineup quite a bit, and his versatility makes him a fantasy option. He will have to start hitting again before his value is truly solidified.

April 21, 2009

Ian Stewart went 1-for-4 with his third home run of the season against Arizona on Monday.

Our View:

Stewart has gotten off to a hot start at the plate. He's already played at both second and third base as well as left and right field and it looks like Colorado is determined to get him at least four or five starts per week, regardless of which position they may come at.

April 15, 2009

Ian Stewart will start in place of Brad Hawpe in Wednesday's game against the Cubs, the Denver Post reports.

Our View:

Stewart has been used at a variety of positions so far this season, and the Rockies will continue to get him in the lineup as much as possible. His offensive capabilities are too good to sit him on a regular basis. He is a decent fantasy option as long as he keeps playing.

April 8, 2009

Ian Stewart did not start, but he did play both third base and right field after coming into the game as a pinch-hitter on Wednesday. He went 2-for-2 with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored in the 9-2 win over Arizona.

Our View:

Stewart has made an appearance in three games this season, but he's only started one. He is 4-for-6 on the season and he holds a lot of offensive potential. His owners also benefit from the multi-position eligibility that he holds. It appears the Rockies plan to use him one way or another in nearly every game he is available.

April 1, 2009

MLB.com reports that Ian Stewart has won a backup job coming out of spring training.

Our View:

Stewart, who has never been known for his defense, will likely backupp a variety of positions including third base, second base, and outfield. If he does earn a starting job at some point this season, he has enough power to contribute to fantasy leagues. However, his strikeouts remain a big concern.

March 12, 2009

Ian Stewart came up big against the Angels on Thursday, going 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI.

Our View:

Stewart actually could have had a few more RBI, as he left three runners on base, but we'll let it slide tonight. He's looked alright (4-for-13) in spring thus far, though he also has four strikeouts and zero walks. He'll have to really impress the Colorado staff if he wants a chance to start at some spot in the field to open the season.

March 7, 2009

Ian Stewart will return on Sunday from his strained left biceps, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:

Stewart is battling for a bench spot. To earn it, he will have to significantly cut down on his strikeout rate. In 266 at bats last season, he had 94 strikeouts.

March 3, 2009

Ian Stewart is improving in his recovery from a strained right biceps, and he is hopeful of swinging a bat again on Wednesday, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Stewart is competing to be the Rockies' starting left fielder, but could also see some time in the infield, hence giving fantasy owners some flexibility with their rosters.

February 27, 2009

Ian Stewart is expected to remain on the shelf until at least Sunday while nursing a strained right biceps, according to the Denver Post. He said, "It stinks because in my position I really need to be out there. But I will take groundballs today and should be swinging a bat again tomorrow."

Our View:

He noted that he would be playing if this was the regular season, and it does not look like his ailment merits concern. Stewart is competing to be the Rockies' starting left fielder, but could also see some time in the infield, hence giving fantasy owners some roster flexibility.

February 26, 2009

Ian Stewart is sitting out today's exhibition game while nursing a strained right biceps, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

Our View:

He is day-to-day. Stewart is competing to be the Rockies' starting left fielder, but could also see some time in the infield, hence giving fantasy owners some roster flexibility.
