The Rockies designated shortstop Ryan Rohlinger to open a 40-man roster spot for newly-signed Kevin Kouzmanoff, tweets Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post. Kouzmanoff has been called up and is starting today, as MLBTR suggested when he signed.
Rohlinger, 27, hit .247/.351/.416 in 392 Triple-A plate appearances for the Giants and Rockies this year. The Rockies had claimed him off waivers in June.
Maybe the Giants will pick him back up ? After all, he looks like Babe Ruth in comparison to their other infield options.
