Rockies' Trevor Story: Pushing for starting shortstop role
Manager Walt Weiss wants to "let [the positional battle at shortstop] play out," but Story is making a push for the starting shortstop role after amassing three home runs and seven RBI in seven spring games, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports.
Story has been receiving a lot of time at shortstop this spring due to the off-field issues surrounding Jose Reyes, and he has made the most of it. Weiss is remaining patient on the subject. "It's not like I'm going to name a starter yet," he said. "We have some time." Story is currently competing with Christian Adames, Daniel Descalso and Rafael Ynoa for the top spot while Reyes is out, but if Story continues to mash major league pitching, the Rockies seem likely to reward him with a spot on the 25-man roster.
