Player Notes

November 11, 2008
The Reds are interested in Rockies' outfielder Willy Taveras, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The Reds are also interested in Garrett Atkins and Yorvit Torrealba.

Our View:The source did not mention what the Reds may be willing to give up to acquire any of the Rockies' players. They are believed to be the most interested in speedy base stealer Taveras.

November 3, 2008
As expected, Willy Taveras is on the Rockies' trading block, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:The speedy base stealer has already garnered interest from the White Sox, Nationals and Yankees, who have pitcher Ian Kennedy as a trading chip.

September 24, 2008
Center fielder Willy Taveras will not play again this season after being diagnosed with a fractured tibia in his lower right leg, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:Taveras had a rough year at the plate for the Rockies and all indications are that he has seen his last action as a Rockie.

September 11, 2008
Willy Taveras will return to his previous spot in atop the batting order on Thursday, according to MLB.com. Taveras has batted out of the second hole in his last 17 games.

Our View:Taveras has posted an awful .295 OBP in 356 AB in the leadoff spot, and though his OBP is better in his time in the second spot, it is still a poor .318. Taveras is arbitration eligible this off-season and will likely be moved so that Dexter Fowler and/or Ryan Spilbroghs can pick up the at-bats.

September 1, 2008
Willy Taveras stole three bases on Monday to up his career best total to 65 on the year. He also scored two runs in the Rockies victory over the Giants.

Our View:This guy has been simply running wild of late with 22 stolen bases in his last 39 games as he continues to do his best impersonation of Juan Pierre, minus about .035 points in batting average (.260).
