The Rockies have signed 34-year old lefty reliever Aaron Fultz to a minor league contract. He opted his way out of a contract with the Tigers after they decided not to add them to their roster. He has pitched in 4 games in AAA-Ball this season and he is 0-1 with a 1.59 ERA and a 1.94 WHIP. Fultz has pitched in 463 games (1 start) in his major league career and he is 25-15 with 3 saves, a 4.26 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Fultz will likely join the Rockies’ bullpen after a short stint in the minors.

23-year old lefty swinging 3B Ian Stewart is off to a slow start in the minors. Stewart is the #2 prospect in the Colorado Rockies’ entire system accoring to Baseball America’s Prospect Handbook. Stewart has played in 30 games in AAA-Ball so far this season and he is 28 for 114 (.246 avg, .849 OPS) with 24 runs scored, 7 homers, 13 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. Stewart is blocked at third base by Garrett Atkins so it would be smart of him to convert to 2B where the Rockies’ have a huge hole in the lineup right now.
