There’s a strange sensation emanating from Salt Rivers Fields down in the Arizona desert.
The time has come for Rockies manager Bud Black to free Connor Joe.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the past 12 months, it’s this: Joe is an every-day major league hitter. Unfortunately, health and injury concerns have kept the 26-year-old utility man from realizing his potential the past two seasons, including a promising 2021 with the Rockies cut short by a hamstring issue. We can only hope Colorado general manager Bill Schmidt’s recent acquisitions of Bryant and Grichuk won’t do the same once Joe and Co. return to LoDo.
It would appear a near certainty Bryant, Grichuk and veteran right fielder Charlie Blackmon will sop up most of the time in the Rockies outfield. And the re-signing of C.J. Cron to a two-year, $14.5 million contract would seem to indicate he will be the primary first baseman.If the Grading the Week staff were making the call, he’d be the primary designated hitter, with the occasional cameo appearances in the field.
— his numbers are simply too good to ignore. A year ago, he slashed .285/.379/.848 with eight homers and nine doubles in 63 games. This spring, he entered Friday at .500/.538/.583 with a home run and a double in 13 plate appearances.Really it just boils down to this: A hitter like Joe — who works counts, draws walks, gets on base at a high rate and even hits for power — should have a place near the top of the order five days out of seven.
