Traded from the Boston Red Sox, we have officially acquired shortstop Marco Scutaro to the Colorado Rockies roster! He's also had stints with the New York Mets, the Oakland Athletics and the Toronto Blue Jays. Scutaro has a batting average of .270. He was traded for Clayton Mortensen. Originally from Venezuela, Scutaro spent seven seasons in theminor leagues before landing a starting position in 2004. He set career highs last year with the Red Sox, inclujding 150 games, 632 at-bats, 100 runs, 14 stolen bases and 90 walks.
So what does all this mean for the Colorado Rockies?
Well: over the past three years, Scutaro has consistently set new career records. Meaning that if the trend holds, he will have even better play this season as part of the Rockies roster. Just another reason to be pumped up for the 2012 Rockies Season!
