The time is now for the Rockies to make this obvious move

Rockies need a jolt after managing just two hits in their series finale vs. Padres.

The Rockies initially made waves starting the season 6-6, but a four-game sweep by San Diego has fans in a frenzy once more.

After managing only two hits in the series finale against the Padres, and losing the first two games on walk-off home runs, the team clearly needs a boost in the lineup.

That boost could certainly be on the horizon after his impressive start in Triple-A Albuquerque.

Charlie Condon could have easily made the team out of spring training, but the Rockies opted to have their No. 2 overall prospect, according to MLB.com, begin the season in Albuquerque.

Despite missing a few games for cyst removal, the promising prospect has made a strong start with the Isotopes. Condon had a stellar day as Albuquerque defeated El Paso 19-12 on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with a home run, double, and a walk. He drove in three runs and scored twice.

Colorado has a variety of players that can assume the first base position with TJ Rumfield and Troy Johnston, who is also capable of playing the corner outfield spots. Throw in Edouard Julien and Willi Castro there as well. Despite this, the Rockies are in need of offensive production, and Condon can play first base and the corner outfield spots as well.

Condon has 40 at-bats with the Topes this season, posting a .325/.438/.675 slash line, four home runs, two doubles, nine RBIs, and seven walks. Perhaps this is an opportunity to allow Jordan Beck, currently hitting just .100 with five RBI in 33 plate appearances, to rediscover his swing without the pressure of the major leagues at the Triple-A level.

Also worth noting, Cole Carrigg (Rockies No. 6 prospect) had a strong performance Sunday afternoon. The speedy outfielder/shortstop went 3-for-5 with a triple, four RBIs, and three runs scored in the win. He's hitting .288 to start the season and could join the club sooner rather than later.
