Last year Colorodo was trying to hijack a decent prospect from any potential team for this guy and couldn’t find any gullible team to bite.. Now finally his actual worth is known.. Utility player a hair above Billy Hall and paid a bit too much.
Might be able to hit for some power like he did at Mile High in Texas, though still hope Texas doesn’t send much cash to Cleveland later on. Paying his 2m salary is enough for a 4-5OF

I doubt he ever makes it to Arlington unless Hamilton/Cruz/Gentry/etc get hurt before Leonys gets back on the field.

Would be good idea to keep him there (if he has another opt out date) and off 25 man roster. Hall, Jonny Gomes.. those kinds seem to find a way of hanging around.. They hit a few meaningless HR, have lead gloves (most of them) and teams seem to keep giving them jobs.

He’s not on the 40 man.

I love this move.

Spilborghs actually only had a .210/.283/.305 line in 2011. The slashline of .279/.360/.437 was in 2010. With the numbers he had in 2010, many clubs would have been interested in him as at least a bench player on an ML team.

He is a good pickup, Martin went on the DL, Gentry is terrible and Spilly has big league experience at all three OF positions. As a Ranger fan that has watched Rockies games I’d rather him play any day of the week over Gentry.

Excellent. This means that I’ll get to see Spilly play my SkySox!

The Rangers still have Brad Hawpe at AA, I’m surprised that he didn’t get a promotion with the numbers he put up. Sorry Spilborghs, but I think you were a bad pickup.
