Rutledge feels right at home with Giants
Rutledge's sweet diving stop SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Josh Rutledge is hoping his versatile skill set will be a better fit in the National League as he returns to the NL West after three years with the Red Sox.
Rutledge broke into the Majors with a bang in 2012, posting a .274/.306/.469 slash line in 73 games for the Rockies while replacing shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who was limited to 47 games by injuries. Rutledge's emergence even had some pundits thinking Tulo could move to third base.

Rutledge was the Opening Day second baseman in 2013 and played a little at third, but ultimately yielded to Gold Glovers Tulowitzki, DJ LeMahieu and Nolan Arenado.
