Ian Desmond Swipes Another Bag
6 years agoColorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Ian Desmond was on the move again on Friday, as he was one of three Rockies to steal second base against the Dodgers en route to a win. Desmond got a couple days off earlier in the week due to a recent slump, but he's knocked a base hit in each game against LA so far. Desmond's year has been marked by decent counting stats (19 homers and 13 stolen bases), but his batting average has been abysmal all season long. A hot July helped pull it up some, but he's back to struggling to find safety in August. More concerning, his power has basically disappeared. Desmond's only hit two home runs in the last six weeks. The batting average is acceptable if he hits for power, but if that disappears, he may find himself back on many leagues' waiver wires in due time.
