Prior to the 2015 season, most baseball fans would have been unfamiliar with the name Chris Colabello. The now 32-year-old journeyman had only played 114 games in the major leagues, all coming with the Minnesota Twins in 2013-14.
He had shown some ability to handle a bat, and in particular had a great series against the Blue Jays in 2014 which likely led to his being picked up off of waivers prior to the 2015 season.
2015 turned out to be a revelation for the minor league lifer, as he hit for a career high .321/.367/.520 with 15 home runs and 54 RBI in 333 at-bats.
