Promotion Nearing for Charlie Condon With Open Role on MLB Roster?
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's major-league debut could be right around the corner, as the former third overall draft pick is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 9-for-28 (.321), including four doubles and a home run. Not only that, but Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield exited Monday's contest after being hit by a pitch on the hand. X-rays were negative, but if it is determined that he'll need to miss some time, then Condon could very well be his replacement. After the recent seven-game hit streak, Condon is slashing .247/.374/.404 with five home runs and four steals, and although his strikeout rate remains elevated at 25.6 percent, a 14.2 percent walk rate shows that the Rockies' second-ranked prospect has a keen eye. With a potential debut on deck while calling Coors Field home, the 6-foot-5 power hitter should be considered a top offensive stash in most leagues for his home run upside.
