  • Willy Taveras (born December 25, 1981 in Teneras, Dominican Republic) is a center fielder for the Colorado Rockies. He bats and throws right-handed. During his time with the Houston Astros, many fans referred to him affectionately as "Willy T." Taveras played in 10 games at the end of the 2004 Astros season, mostly as a pinch runner. In 2005, he led the majors in infield hits (71), bunt hits (31), and singles (152), and was tops among rookies in runs (82), hits (172), and stolen bases (34; 6th in the NL). He hit .291. Taveras was the Astros' starting center fielder during his rookie season (2005), replacing Carlos Beltran, who signed with the New York Mets in the off-season. After the season, Taveras was voted National League Rookie of the Year by the players (Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies won the actual Rookie of the Year Award). In 2006, Taveras' batting average regressed to .278, though he again led the majors in bunt hits (21) and had 33 stolen bases (10th in the NL), but just 30 RBI. On December 12, 2006, Taveras was traded along with Taylor Buchholz and Jason Hirsh to the Colorado Rockies for Rockies pitchers Jason Jennings and Miguel Ascencio.
