Charlie Blackmon News
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon exercised his $21 million-plus player option on Thursday and will return to the team for the 2022 season. Blackmon has another player option coming in 2023 and has been with the team for the last 11 seasons after being drafted in 2008. The veteran outfielder started off last season slow, but he ended up finishing the year with a .270 batting average and 13 home runs while staying healthy for 582 plate appearances over 150 games. Blackmon now ranks second on the franchise's all-time list in games played (1,269) and hits (1,450), while he's seventh in home runs (191). With baseball expected to adopt a universal designated hitter next year, Blackmon will be a candidate to serve as the Rockies DH most nights.
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is absent from the starting lineup for the team's season finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Sam Hilliard is getting the start in right field for the game. It was a disappointing season for the 35-year-old veteran. Over 149 games, he slashed .269/.349/.409 with 13 home runs, 78 RBI and 76 runs. He had a .286 xBA on the year, which ranked in the 92nd percentile, and suggests that he may have had some bad luck this year. However, he's clearly not the same fantasy asset he was in his prime any longer.
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Patrick Corbin. Blackmon is hitting .270 with a .347 on-base percentage, 13 home runs, and three stolen bases in 567 plate appearances this season. It'll be Yonathan Daza starting in right field in place of Blackmon and batting seventh. The 27-year-old is hitting .282 with a .329 on-base percentage, two home runs, and two stolen bases in 321 plate appearances this season. You're probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming help on Tuesday.

It was a strange 2020 season for Colorado Rockies outfielderCharlie Blackmon, as he came out as the hottest hitter in the league by hitting .395/.440/.553 in his first 30 games, but then he sputtered to the finish line by hitting .206/.270/.336 for the final 30 contests. His final line still made him a very useful fantasy hitter with a .303 batting average while scoring and driving in runs at a strong pace. However, there are very few steals left in his game and the power numbers are no longer trustworthy. He also did not look like a very good hitter by the batted-ball metrics in 2020, posting a near career-worst 29.7% hard-hit rate and a career-high 10.5% swinging-strike rate. All of this leaves his projected production moving forward limited to batting average and runs scored. He has become much cheaper in drafts, but fantasy managers will likely still have to spend a top-100 pick on him. Given that there are lots of ways to find a useful batting average much later in the draft, Blackmon is seemingly a poor investment for 2021.
