Rockies 3B prospect Ian Stewart didn't get the call-up last week, and he's not happy about it; now its affecting his play...
As of a week ago, many fans thought an Ian Stewart call-up was imminent. Troy Tulowitzki went down with a torn tendon in his quad and the Rockies started shifting players around to cover. Garrett Atkins played 2nd base for a game; it looked like the Rockies were trying to find a way to get super-prospect Ian Stewart to the bigs. Well that didn't happen. When Tulo went down, Omar Quintanilla and Jon Herrera came up...Stewart stayed down.
Since that time (8 games ago), Stewart is 1-for-30 at the plate, dropping his batting average from .313 to .238. It'd be an awfully big coincidence that Stewart's slump (which is jeopardizing ANY call-up he might get) coincides with Herrera and Quintanilla being called up instead of Stewart. Sounds like someone is a little upset
