What It Means:

The Padres recently purchased the 30-year old's contract from Triple-A El Paso. He is making just his second start as he mans short in place of yesterday's starter, Allen Cordoba. He slots in seventh against rookie Chris Flexen.

In 5 plate appearances, Coleman is 1-for-5 with RBI in the bigs. At the minimum of $2,000, Coleman makes for an attractive option for a team implied at 4.57 runs this evening.
