7 years agoColorado Rockies first baseman Ryan McMahon's spot on the Rockies "could depend on the next two weeks." McMahon has had a very solid spring training so far with a .354 batting average, .367 on-base percentage and .542 slugging percentage and has impressed the Rockies organization at first base. However, the signing of outfielder Carlos Gonzalez means that the already congested outfield with David Dahl, Mike Tauchman, Raimel Tapia and Ian Desmond will mean Desmond will most likely get more time at first base. It should also be considered that Desmond is having a beyond awful spring training with only two hits in 28 at-bats and 14 strikeouts. While manager Bud Black has specifically said in an interview that he is not concerned by Desmond's spring, rocking a .071 batting average cannot just be brushed off. Keep an eye on how McMahon hits in the next two weeks, as he will not only get a lot of at-bats, but he may get more time at first base depending on how he plays.--Caden Inaba
