Let’s talk a little bit about positional battles, focusing on the [tag]Colorado Rockies[/tag] shortstop job today.
There really isn’t a clear cut favorite here as both [tag]Clint Barmes[/tag] and [tag]Troy Tulowitzki[/tag] are fighting for this spot. Barmes struggled at the plate last year hitting .220/.264/.335 after impressing in 2005 with an 81 game performance at .289/.330/.434. Barmes is 28 and has a decent glove, but needs to relocate his lost swing. Tulowitzki, a 22 year old stud prospect, hit .291/.370/.473 in AA Tulsa with 13 home runs and may be the fan favorite, but may also still need some seasoning. So far this spring here’s what they look like:
Barmes - 19AB .316/.350/.421 0HR 2RBI 8TB
Tulowitzki - 13AB .385/.500/.615 0HR 4RBI 8TB

I answered your first question in a recent post. As to the Kotchman versus Morales debate, I think just about everyone has Kotchman penciled in at 1B for ‘07. He’s got a better glove for one, and look at the ‘07 spring numbers to see where Kotchman has the advantage as well.
