FACTS/FLUKES: Blackmon, Rondon, A. Cabrera, Kennedy, Rutledge

Blackmon crashes back to earth ... Charlie Blackmon's (OF, COL) blistering start was the surprise of the season early on in 2014—he was hitting .323 with 10 HR and 10 SB by Memorial Day. Blackmon has cooled considerably in the second half, however, with just three HR and a .276 BA since July 1. Which version of Blackmon are we likely to see moving forward?
