The question of who would be removed from the active roster when John Axford returned to the Colorado Rockies has been answered: Wilin Rosario has been optioned to AAA Albuquerque.
News is official now as we awaited word on who might be shipped out when John Axford returned to the Colorado Rockies: the unlucky man is none other than Wilin Rosario.
The catcher-turned first baseman will held to AAA Albuquerque to play first base every day and get work at his new position as the Rockies look to extend their bullpen depth a little bit after several tough days with short and ineffective work from the starting rotation.
