Fowler Gives Up Shovel For Bat In Fair Trade

Going 4 for 9 in the Rockies/Braves doubleheader, Fowler raised his batting average 25 points to .275.  He added a run and a stolen base.

Spin: 

Notified prior to the doubleheader that his Player Rater ranking had fallen out of the top ten, Fowler put down the snow shovel he’d been using to help Coors Field’s maintenance crew, and picked up a baseball bat. “It’s time to stop working and have some fun,” Fowler told the crew, who recently nominated him for Business Manager of their union local. And if you don’t think that Fowler knows how to have fun, then you’re a fucking idiot. He swiped a base. For fun. He hit a triple. For fun. He plowed his way back into the top ten Player Rater rankings. For business. Because Dexter Fowler means business when it comes to having fun.
