    Rockies Rockies Acquire Mark Ellis

    No second baseman has suited up for the A's as often as Mark Ellis, but when the veteran lost his starting job earlier this month, it became clear that his time in Oakland would likely end soon. Ellis' nine-year tenure with the Athletics is now officially over. The A's announced that they sent Ellis and cash considerations to the Rockies for right-hander reliever Bruce Billings and a player to be named later.
    Maybe playing at Coors will help his offense but he has struggled all year and has battled injuries. He is batting just .217 with a .544 OPS and has lost a step defensively. No word yet on how much cash the Rockies are getting. He should split time with Herrera.

    Mark Ellis won't put up the sort of numbers Robinson Cano or Dustin Pedroia will, but he is a fine defensive 2B and should help the Rockies stabilize their middle infield. He should be a good compliment to Tulo.

    Would have been more exciting if it was Doc Ellis.
