  • Blackmon SBs, or lack thereof...good little piece here.

    Have gotten a Blackmon offer and obviously his steals made him a stud last year..this year, not so much. But contrary to popular worry it's not so much his turf toe...

    Rockies rank 12th in the National League with just 19 stolen bases. Worse, they have have a success rate of just 50 percent, worst percentage in the National League.


    So, after reading this, would you guys still trade for Blackmon hoping for a SB rebound? I'd trade a closer (Wade Davis) which would leave me with K.Jansen, J.Gomez, Rondon, Will Harris, A.Miller, Will Smith in my bullpen. Blackmon would replace Parra in my OF, so slight upgrade there.

    Points would be my driver for this deal, though I'm not optimistic his SB pace picks up a lot.
    I'm just here for the baseball.

      Yup. Re: saves in I'm second place by 11 saves, won't catch that guy, and the third place guy is like 45 saves behind me so I can take the risk on Blackmon and lose Davis, I think, because Blackmon gives me an AVG/OBP/HR advantage over Parra (he's only hit double digit HR twice in his 8 yr career). That said, I have offers out there, packages involving Harper, Desmond, Trumbo, Story, e.g. that I like better for me if I'm losing Davis.
