The Rockies have approached outfielder Dexter Fowler in the past about abandoning switch-hitting. Fowler has hit just .243/.338/.380 in 879 career plate appearances from the left side of the plate. He's significantly more productive as a right-handed batter, but all indications point to him sticking with the switch-hitting approach. "Did we discuss it? Yes, we did talk to him about that, and he feels very strongly that staying as a switch hitter is something he wants to do," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "I understand his reasoning wholeheartedly because of all the time he's put into it."
