The Colorado Rockies are at the bottom of the National League standings and figure to be sellers at this year's trade deadline.
Colorado has a "breakout star" who could help several contending clubs in the outfield, writes Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller.
But should those teams be concerned about how he's hit at Coors Field compared to on the road? The numbers indicate that they should at least be wary.
"[Mickey] Moniak has crushed in the thin air of Denver, amassing 24 home runs and a .980 OPS at home over the past 1.5 seasons," Miller wrote. "However, teams rather have to **** ume they would be trading for the much more pedestrian 12 home runs and .703 OPS that Moniak has put together in 83 games played on the road."
