Blackmon Will Add Versatile Presence to Rockies Lineup
In his third season as a regular starter, Blackmon is hitting .185/.241/.575 with no home runs and three RBI so far in 2016 to go along with one stolen base.
The 29-year-old was extremely productive in 2015 with a .287 batting average, 17 homers, 58 RBI and 43 steals.
The Rockies outfield entered the season in a state of flux. Gerardo Parra signed a three-year deal in the offseason, creating a logjam which Blackmon was initially not a fan of.
"I was [a] little perplexed at first," Blackmon said, according to Nick Groke of the Denver Post. "Because I didn't really see it coming. Going into the offseason, I didn't know that was in play, really. But after looking at it, he's a great player. I've played against him, seen him play. He's got one of the best arms in the league. He can only make our team better."
Shortstop Trevor Story, third baseman Nolan Arenado and second baseman DJ LeMahieu are off to red-hot starts, so getting Blackmon back in the lineup should only lengthen the order and make the team more dangerous.
