Ranking the Rockies: No. 5 Charlie Blackmon became a better baseball player in 2015

Charlie Blackmon's changed approach at the plate led to real improvements in 2015.

There is something about Charlie Blackmon that we are just going to have to accept: He is a firmly average baseball player. Far from a bad thing, that’s a good thing. A windy road has led us to this point.

After Charlie Blackmon’s scorching hot start to the 2014 season, it was very easy to get excited and dream a little too big. He clearly was not going to be anywhere close to the .400 hitter he was in April 2014, but he sure looked like he was going to post a fantastic season for the Rockies.
