November 16, 2008 According to the Denver Post, GM Dan O'Dowd said the possibility of moving Ian Stewart to left field to replace Matt Holliday is "very viable."
Our View:There are still rumors that the Rockies could move Garrett Atkins, allowing Stewart to stay at third base. It does sound like the Rockies would like Stewart to be a regular next season.
August 28, 2008 Ian Stewart's 10-game hitting streak was snapped Wednesday against the Giants, according to the Rocky Mountain News.
Our View:He had five multi-hit efforts over the streak, with five doubles, two homers, and 13 RBI. He should remain a strong source of production heading into the final month of the season.
August 20, 2008 Rockies third baseman Ian Stewart was a top dog at the park in the 8-3 win over the Dodgers, going 2-for-3 with his ninth homer of the season, totaling an amazing five RBIs and one run scored.

August 17, 2008 The Nationals posted more hits but weren't nearly as efficient as the Rockies, falling 7-2, thanks to guys like third baseman Ian Stewart. Stewart went 1-for-2 with two walks and his eighth homer of the season, totaling three RBIs and two runs scored on the day.
Our View:Stewart is hitting just .229 for the month but has hits in eight of his last nine games with four homers and 12 RBIs coming along the way.
August 16, 2008 Ian Stewart went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs, and two RBI on Saturday night. He has had a slow August but is still hitting .322-4-24-17 in 27 games since the All-Star break.
Our View:Stewart has a very promising bat, and we're glad to see the Rockies giving him regular playing time. We expect some ups and downs this season, but he is building up value for the 2009 rankings.
