Name: Ian Stewart
Organization: Colorado Rockies
Position: Third Base
Born: 4/5/1985
Bats: Left
Throws: Right
Drafted: 2003, 1st Round
Rotowire.com says that "The Rockies' top hitting prospect put together a strong season in Triple-A in 2007. He hit .304 with 15 home runs and 65 RBI in 112 games but he still strikes out too much (once every 4.5 at-bats).
Ian Stewart will be competing for the starting second base job this year, with the departure of Kaz Matsui opening up a hole in the infield. Naturally a third baseman, Stewart would be the Major's biggest second baseman (6'3'') if he wins the starting job.
Scout Magazine projects Stewart to be a 25 plus home run hitter in Coors Field, and should he win the starting job, a candidate for Rookie of the Year honors in 2008.
Fantasy wise, Stewart is a great option, hitting in Coors Field with a potent Rockie lineup. Colorado has also hinted at having Stewart start the season in Triple-A to get him regular at-bats, buying the Rockies time to figure out what to do with him.
