Charlie Blackmon News
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer against the Chicago Cubs in Thursday's Cactus League matchup. The veteran is entering his 14th season, all with Colorado and has looked good this spring with a .333 batting, two homers and six RBI in 39 at-bats. At age 37, Blackmon may have to succumb some playing time to younger players on a rebuilding Rockies team, but he can still be useful during long stretches at Coors Field. Even with a nice spring, there should be players with bigger upsides towards the end of deep league drafts.
Colorado Rockies outfielder/designated hitter Charlie Blackmon has signed a one-year, $13 million contract extension with the team. The 37-year-old, who has spent his entire 13-year career with Colorado, was going to hit free agency this offseason but he'll stay on for another year with the Rockies. The veteran outfielder has put together an excellent season in Colorado, albeit one that has been limited by injuries. He's slashing .285/.370/.450 with eight home runs, 40 RBI, and four stolen bases over 351 at-bats in 92 games.
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is on the bench for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers with left-handed opener Caleb Ferguson on the mound. With Blackmon out, Kris Bryant is serving as the designated hitter and batting third, while Sean Bouchard is in right field and in the seven-hole against Ferguson. The veteran Blackmon has hit a strong .276 (92-for-333) on the year for the Rockies, but with just seven home runs, 38 RBI, two stolen bases and 53 runs scored. The 37-year-old left-handed hitter also has no home runs against southpaws in 2023 while hitting .277 (23-for-83) against them. The four-time All-Star's bat has cooled off considerably in the final month of the regular season as well.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon has been fading fast from both a fantasy and real life perspective over the past couple years. Last season was the worst season he's had since he first became a fantasy mainstay in 2014. Over 150 games last year, he slashed .270/.351/.411 with 13 home runs, 78 RBI and 76 runs. His .292 xBA suggests that he was a bit unlucky overall, but an increased batting average would only go so far in salvaging Blackmon's fantasy value. The 35-year-old was a fantasy gem when he was a threat for 30 home runs, a lock for double-digit steals and a sure thing for strong counting stats while leading off for a potent Rockies offense. Blackmon is no longer leading off. And despite the advantage of Coors Field, the Rockies were a middling offense last year. They should also take a step back offensively in 2022, assuming their top hitter from last year, Trevor Story, signs elsewhere. Finally, Blackmon is no longer a stolen base threat (just three last year) and his power potential has faded. While 20 home runs is within reach, don't expect much more than that. Blackmon currently has an ADP just outside the top-200 and even that may be a tad too high. Batting average is really the only stat that fantasy managers can be confident Blackmon will be a strong contributor in.
