After a scorching month at the plate, Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron earned National Player of the Month honors in August. It was an honor that was well deserved and another step toward what should be a sizable offseason contract.
Whether that contract will come from the Rockies or another Major League team, there is no question that the $1 million bet Cron placed on himself and his health by signing for that price and one year with Colorado before the season has paid off in a big way.
