Rockies confirm. We really like Gigliotti, but with Raimel Tapia's emergence, the danger is that Gigliotti is the fifth-best left-hand hitting outfielder we have, and we don't want to just park him at Triple A for two more seasons.

Hernandez could be a high average guy, and most importantly, hits lefties better than righties. At worst, he can fill the Abraham Almonte role of fourth outfielder in a few years.

Williams looks like a decent gamble on movement and control, and with so many outfielders in my system, Abreu was expendable.

Hopefully Hernandez performs better for me than Elvis Andrus did in my last deal with KC! lol. Best of luck to the Royals and I'll be following Gigliotti's career closely.
