Shin fracture behind Rockies' Hollandsworth

Associated Press

DENVER -- Colorado Rockies outfielder Todd Hollandsworth is ready for spring training after recovering from a broken shin that sidelined him last season.

"Everything is 100 percent. I have been fielding and hitting all winter," Hollandsworth said. "I can jump as high as ever and run as fast as before. I can't wait to get going again."

Hollandsworth injured himself when he fouled a ball off his leg May 11 and missed the rest of the season. He is preparing to regain his starting spot when he reports to spring training next week.

Hollandsworth was off to a great start before the injury, with a .368 average, six home runs and 19 RBI. The Rockies were 19-16 before Hollandsworth got hurt and 54-73 after as they struggled to fill his void in left field.

"We really missed him. It became a weird position," manager Buddy Bell said. "Every time something bad happened, it happened out there."
