He had the most incredible mid-season turnaround I can ever remember seeing, and it was glorious.
Through two months of the 2015 season I, like many Rockies fans, had arrived at the conclusion that Carlos Gonzalez was never going to be the same player he used to be. When the calendar flipped to June he was batting a woeful .215 with just four home runs and 13 runs batted in. His OPS was .620. It was sad. A once-great player's career was ending before our eyes.
Then, something amazing happened. Overnight, Carlos Gonzalez transformed from a shell of his former self to a superhero version of his former self that was capable of hitting baseballs over the fence at an unfathomable rate.
