Fantasy Impact:
Rutledge is 25 year old right-handed hitter who hit .259/.308/.403 with 19 homers in 947 at-bats for the Rockies since debuting in 2012. Serving as a utility man over the past few seasons in Colorado, he could prove to be a sleeper 2B pick in 2015 with 20/20 potential. There is a chance he is platooned with Grant Green but Rutledge should have the chance to take over the permanent job with a strong start to the season.
