Rockie Comeback for Giles?

Written by Colin on January 9, 2008 – 11:35 am

Former fan favorite here in Atlanta, Marcus Giles, has signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies, and will compete for the second base position in spring training. After leaving Atlanta and playing for the Padres last season, Giles posted a disappointing .229 batting average. That said, Giles batted .526 at Coors Field last year – the highest batting average at Coors among all players with above 20 plate appearances. He may be able to translate that success into a starting job next year.

The Rockies and Giles hope he can regain his All-Star form and come out swinging for the fences next year. We’re right there with them – Marcus is a great guy and we’d love to see him bring his love for the game to the major leagues for years to come.

Good luck, Marcus! Here’s hoping we see you on the Rockies big league squad this year.
