Sat Apr 27 2013 | 01:16 | Wilin Rosario hits fifth HR in Rockies' win |
Wilin Rosario went 2-for-4 and hit his fifth homer in the Rockies' 6-3 victory over the Diamondbacks on Friday. |
At 16/2 in 68 at-bats, Rosario's K/BB ratio is even worse than last year's. However, it hasn't stopped him from hitting .309 or driving in 15 runs. He's already way ahead of last year's pace; he hit just one of his 28 homers last April. |

Wed Apr 10 2013 | 01:28 | Wilin Rosario steals two bases |
Wilin Rosario, already with three homers this season, stole his first two bases against the Giants on Tuesday. |
Both were against a Tim Lincecum-Hector Sanchez battery that isn't very good at stopping basestealers. Of course, Rosario isn't much of a basestealer. He was thrown out on five of his nine attempts last year. |

Wed Apr 3 2013 | 23:53 | Wilin Rosario collects three hits Wednesday |
Wilin Rosario registered three hits, including a two-run home run, in the Rockies' 7-3 victory over the Brewers on Wednesday night in Milwaukee. |
The home run was Rosario's first of the season. The 24-year-old catcher is poised for a big year after hitting 28 homers in 396 at-bats in 2012. His absurd power coupled with his offensive-leaning home park makes him an extra-base hit threat every time he steps up to the plate. He should be owned in every fantasy league. |

Wilin Rosario ripped a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Cubs. |
The longball was his first of the spring, though he's now hitting .385 in his first 13 at-bats. Rosario's average is unlikely to help much, but he should provide some of the best power at the catcher position again in 2013. |

Thu Feb 14 2013 | 22:04 | Rosario could hit fifth for Rockies |
Rockies C Wilin Rosario could possibly hit in the fifth spot in the order, according to new Rockies manager Walt Weiss. |
It would be a prime spot for the 23-year old catcher, who slugged 28 home runs in 426 plate appearances in 2012. Weiss seems locked in on batting OF Carlos Gonzalez third and SS Troy Tulowitzki cleanup, so Rosario could see plenty of RBI opportunities hitting behind those two in the order. With a full season of plate appearances and playing half his games at Coors Field, the sky is the limit for Rosario in 2013. |

Sun Sep 23 2012 | 08:18 | Wilin Rosario to work on catching skills |
Rockies catching coach Jerry Weinstein said the team has given Wilin Rosario a "laundry list" of drills to perform over the offseason in hopes of improving his defense behind the plate. |
"He has a whole laundry list of stuff," Weinstein said. "He has some things to work on that will take more reps." Rosario belted his 26th homer of the season Saturday and is slugging .532 for the year, but he also leads the majors with 20 passed balls. He'll play winter ball in his native Dominican Republic, as well as "get back to basics with drills Weinstein created for him." |
