The Yomiuri Giants have acquired third baseman Josh Fields from the Rockies,
according to a Sponichi report. Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker passes along
the news and says we should expect an official announcement in a few days (on
Twitter).
Fields had been playing for the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate in Colorado
Springs, but the Sky Sox have released him, according to the Pacific Coast
League transactions page. The former first round pick had a .365/.429/.674
line at Triple-A, so the Rockies presumably released him as a formality to
enable him to join the Japanese team.
Fields, 28, played for the White Sox and Royals from 2006-10. He clubbed 23
home runs in 2007, posting a .244/.308/.480 line in the process. He never
replicated that success and has bounced from team to team since. The White
Sox sent him to Kansas City in 2009 and the Royals non-tendered him last
winter. The Pirates picked him up in December and flipped him to Colorado
late in Spring Training.
