Eric Young Jr. Fantasy Baseball News, Notes, Rumors and Statistics
The latest Eric Young Jr. MLB and fantasy baseball news
Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:10:01 -0800 Colorado Rockies 2B Chris Nelson will be competing with 2B Jonathan Herrera, 3B Brendan Harris, 3B Brandon Wood, 3B DJ LeMahieu, 2B Eric Young Jr. and 3B Jordan Pacheco in spring training for a spot as a utility infielder this year behind 2B Marco Scutaro. Manager Jim Tracy pointed out that Nelson's back hip was drifting into pitches last year, which made it tough for him to get inside the inside pitches and keep from being jammed. "I got exposed a little bit last year with fastballs in, with me coming up trying to take everything to right field," Nelson said. "Guys are a little smarter and they saw that. They started jamming me, coming in more. This offseason, I just worked on the inside pitch while still staying consistent away."
Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:47:50 -0800 The Colorado Rockies nearly dealt 2B Eric Young Jr. to the Seattle Mariners during the winter meetings earlier this month. Young is likely to be traded before spring training.
Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:02:23 -0800 The New York Mets are interested in trading for Colorado Rockies 2B Eric Young Jr., according to a major league source. 2B Justin Turner could be sent to Colorado in exchange. The Mets are still willing to trade SP Jonathon Niese, too.
Sun, 27 Nov 2011 11:03:32 -0800 Colorado Rockies 2B Eric Young Jr. has reportedly been sent home from his Venezuelan Winter League team because of tardiness.
Wed, 16 Nov 2011 14:12:22 -0800 The Colorado Rockies are not serious about signing free-agent SS Clint Barmes (Astros). They are looking for more offense at second base. In-house candidates for the keystone include IFs Chris Nelson, Jonathan Herrera and Eric Young Jr., who is playing second base in Venezuela.
Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:46:39 -0800 Colorado Rockies 2B Eric Young Jr. is playing winter ball in Venezuela this offseason.
Mon, 12 Sep 2011 06:52:08 -0700 Colorado Rockies 2B Eric Young Jr. stole three bases Sunday, Sept. 11.
Mon, 08 Aug 2011 13:08:37 -0700 Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy is sticking with OF Eric Young Jr. in the leadoff spot and OF Dexter Fowler in the No. 2 spot for the foreseeable future. OF Seth Smith has been the odd-man out with Young playing more.
Thu, 04 Aug 2011 18:43:29 -0700 Colorado Rockies OF Eric Young Jr. said he has been concentrating on hitting the ball on the ground and using his speed to get on base.
Fri, 22 Jul 2011 15:43:44 -0700 The Colorado Rockies placed OF Carlos Gonzalez (wrist) on the 15-day disabled list Friday, July 22, with strained ligaments in his right wrist. In a corresponding move, the team recalled IF/OF Eric Young Jr. Fantasy Tip: This move was pretty much expected after Car-Go appeared to re-injure his wrist seriously in the club's contest Thursday. Thankfully, tests revealed only the strained ligaments in the wrist in which he had previously sustained a bone bruise. It's not clear how long he'll be sidelined, but fantasy owners will have a clearer idea of how to proceed, at least. Young probably won't serve as much more than depth, but his speed can always be a difference-maker. This pretty much ensures that Dexter Fowler, who has been pretty hot since his call-up, will be in the lineup regularly for a while. Ty Wigginton and Ryan Spilborghs will continue to get ABs here and there, too.
