Blackmon is not the best hitter on the team... I would say and I hate to say this because he can't hit a ball  to Left Field... but it is DJ... . I say that because my baseball eyes say he makes more solid contact than any player almost in baseball I would bet. Now I Nolan the best hitter in situations and with men on base and with the strength of his contact when the hit solid, is way HARDER... yes. Is Charlie FABULOUS... too... yes!
Want to make a comment on Ian Desmond... 
Some people... a guy behind me... at last night's game are disappointed. How many guys on the team have had a broken hand this year? Then a long strain of one leg AND can play his level of D... in any position on the field? No one. 

He didn't have a real Spring Training and is perhaps pushing too hard OK yes... but he's hitting about 275 give or take! I love the guy. Great athlete, has that special natural coordination of Cargo and speed on the bases. Be patient... he'll show up hitting more soon.
