Matt Murton on the Move to Colorado

February 04, 2009

The Colorado Rockies acquired outfielder Matt Murton from the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.

The Rockies are looking to firm up their outfield after dealing Matt Holliday during the offseason.

The Rockies traded infielder Corey Wimberly in exchange for Murton. Wimberly led the AA Texas League in stolen bases last season and is one of the fastest players in baseball.

Murton shouldn't have much of a fantasy impact this season as he isn't expected to start for the Rockies coming out of Spring Training.
