Charlie Condon expected to compete for first base job this spring
Charlie Condon is expected to compete for the Colorado Rockies’ everyday first base position during spring training.
Fantasy Impact
With the Rockies waiving Warming Bernabel on Saturday, the first base position is wide open. New Rockies president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta and general manager Josh Byrnes have noted there is talent within the organization, suggesting they won’t be highly active in free agency. Condon, the Rockies’ No. 2 overall prospect, figures to have a strong chance to compete for the starting first base role after slashing .286/.376/.444 with 14 home runs across 433 plate appearances in his first minor league season. He also participated in the Arizona Fall League, where he slashed .337/.439/.434 with one home run across 98 plate appearances.
