Rockies' Cristhian Adames: Could be squeezed from roster despite solid spring

Adames is 11-for-42 (.262) with three home runs in 23 Cactus League games.

Analysis:

Adames is incorporating first base into his defensive repertoire in an effort to land an Opening Day roster spot, and his bat is helping to strengthen his argument. However, the power surge might not be enough to help the switch-hitter punch his ticket to the big leagues, as Jordan Patterson and Stephen Cardullo seem to be the front-runners to fill the void left after Ian Desmond (hand) went down due to injury.
