Contract Value Index (CVI)
Edouard Julien's one-year, $0.8M deal with the Rockies earns a solid B CVI, representing shrewd value shopping for a depth piece with legitimate upside. The former Twins infielder showed flashes of above-average production when healthy, posting a respectable .804 OPS across his first two MLB seasons despite playing through injuries. At just $800K, Colorado is essentially paying replacement-level money for a player who could realistically contribute 1-2 WAR if he stays on the field — the type of low-risk, high-reward signing that contending teams use to build roster depth. Second base remains a position where even modest offensive production carries value, and Julien's patient approach and gap power could play well in Colorado's offensive environment. While durability concerns keep him firmly in the depth piece category, the Rockies are getting a former top prospect with starter experience for minimal financial commitment. This is exactly the type of cost-controlled veteran addition that allows teams to allocate resources elsewhere while maintaining competitive depth.
Performance Analysis
Edouard Julien grades as an above average performer among MLB second basemen, earning a B Performance grade. He is hitting with a 0.232 batting average and a 0.716 OPS (below the league average of .720) this season. With 27 home runs and 70 RBI through 267 games (a 16-HR, 42-RBI pace over a full season), he brings moderate power to the lineup. As a player entering his prime window at 26, Edouard is a key contributor for the Rockies. A 267-game sample provides high confidence in this grade.
