David Dahl Starting In Cleanup Spot
7 years agoWith the way they stuck him in Triple-A to start the season, some might have thought the Colorado Rockies were starting to sour on outfielder David Dahl. Apparently, that's not so. Now that Carlos Gonzalez's injury made room for Dahl, the team only took one game to decide he should be their cleanup hitter. Dahl went 1-for-5 in his first big-league game of the season, but that was apparently enough to sell management on the fact that he should be in the catbird seat. Hitting right behind MVP candidates Charlie Blackmon and Nolan Arenado should help give Dahl plenty of opportunities to put up big counting stats while he's up.
