Brenton Doyle Continues Unlikely Rookie Run
12 months agoColorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI, and two runs scored in a win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. The 25-year-old is making a case as a dark-horse NL Rookie of the Year candidate during the season's early goings. He ranks inside the top-50 in average value in mixed roto leagues this year while hitting .255 with six stolen bags, four homers, 11 RBI, and 13 runs scored over 55 at-bats. Doyle's upside is limited while operating from the lower-third of the Rockies lineup, but it's becoming remiss to ignore him deeper formats. Colorado's number-16 prospect will need to stave off the incumbent Randal Grichuk, though, for consistent playing time. Watch Doyle on waivers closely this weekend against the Texas Rangers and beyond to see if he's a mirage or perhaps something more.
