After a quality first season filling in for Troy Tulowitzki at short, the Rockies planned to use Josh Rutledge as their starting second baseman for the upcoming season. Apparently, nobody told DJ LeMahieu, who said he still considers himself a contender for the position after holding the spot for the final two months of the 2012 season. "I'm just going to go into camp competing," he told The Denver Post. "But I would go in with the same attitude even if I had a job locked up." LeMahieu finished with a .297 batting average and 18 extra-base hits in 81 games for the Rockies last season after beginning the year in Triple-A.
