Eli Marrero - B+ How good was Marrero for the Rockies? In April he was amazing and after that he was mediocre to bad at the plate for a month, but then on June 10 he gave us one more sweet gift in netting Kaz Matsui straight up in a trade with the Mets.

Marrero did some catching in Spring Training, especially with Yorvit Torrealba suffered a shoulder injury that keeps him on the shelf. He never worked with Sunday starter Jeff Francis in a game, but did catch some of his throwing sessions.
"We'll see, get him involved," Hurdle said. "He needs to be involved. I've got to find at-bats for him somewhere. We obviously have to force the issue a little bit."
