Player Notes
July 2, 2008
Willy Taveras was held out of tonight's starting lineup against the Padres due to a sore left quad, according to MLB.com. Taveras did not guarantee he will return Thursday, and said, "We'll see. I'm going to ride the exercise bike today, get some treatment, but I'm not going to push it. I want to take care of this, so it doesn't get worse."

Our View:Ryan Spilborghs replaced Taveras in the lineup. Taveras holds his most value with 38-steals, but his speed is being compromised due to the leg ailment.
June 20, 2008
Willy Taveras has 32 stolen bases in only 63 games, which is one shy of his production for the entire 2007 season, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

Our View:He has only played in 170 games with Colorado, but already ranks fifth on their career list with 65 steals.
June 19, 2008
Willy Taveras went 3-for-5 and stole his 32nd base in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians.

Our View:Taveras registered a bunt single, a swinging bunt single and a Texas Leaguer in the Roks win. Considering what he did on Thursday night is it any surprise his slugging percentage is .304 on the season?
June 14, 2008
The game wasn't terribly offensive, but outfielder Willy Taveras kept it entertaining on the base paths as the Rockies took the 2-0 win over Chicago. Taveras went 2-for-4 with a double, but he also added a whopping five stolen bases on the night.

Our View:Taveras now touts 29 stolen bags on the season, but his five in one game is not a record, coming one shy of the effort put forth in 1996 by Eric Young (stealing six versus the Dodgers).
June 11, 2008
Willy Taveras had just as single hit but he also stole his 24th base of the season for the Rockies on Wednesday night.

Our View:Taveras is likely to start losing some playing time to Ryan Spilborghs as he has only brought steals to the table this season with an average of .234, and even worse, an OBP below .290. A leadoff man simply needs to get on base more than that no matter how fast he is, just ask Michael Bourn.
