Rockies Acquire Josh Fields

The Rockies acquired third baseman Josh Fields from the Pirates for a player to be named later or cash, tweets the team.  Fields had been reassigned to the Pirates' minor league camp three days ago.  He'd signed a minor league deal in December.      Fields, 28, missed most of the 2010 season due to hip surgery, though he had 104 interesting plate appearances before being non-tendered.  Aside from third base, he's dabbled at first and left field. Fields was drafted 18th overall by the White Sox in 2004 and was once considered a top prospect.  He crushed 23 home runs in 418 plate appearances with the Sox in '07, nine of which came in August of that year.
