Ian Desmond Continues To Struggle
7 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder/first baseman Ian Desmond continues to have an abysmal spring after he went 0-for-3 against the Dodgers on Sunday. Colorado's coup of the 2017 free-agent class is now 1-for-17 this spring. Desmond's terrible opening frame likely won't cost him playing time, but it's certainly not an encouraging sign to fantasy owners after he struggled last season due to injuries. The recent re-signing of Carlos Gonzalez and presence of young up-and-comers like Ryan McMahon, David Dahl and Raimel Tapia puts some pressure on Desmond to perform, but his big contract should be enough to keep him in the lineup throughout the season. He's still got plenty of potential for a big season in the thin air of Colorado.
