Blackmon went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in Sunday's Cactus League victory over the Diamondbacks.
A bout with abdominal tightness delayed Blackmon's participation in Cactus League play, but he's since slotted into the lineup for eight games, batting .250 with a homer, stolen base, and three RBI. Like last season, Blackmon is slated to lead off for the Rockies in 2015, and with Corey Dickerson, Troy Tulowitzki, and Carlos Gonzalez tentatively penciled in right behind him in the lineup, run-scoring chances should be plentiful. In addition, Blackmon provides a little more punch than the typical table setter, as his 19 homers last season ranked only behind the Brewers' Carlos Gomez among leadoff hitters.
