Could Charlie Blackmon be the next manager of the Colorado Rockies? As he transitions into his role as a special assistant to the general manager, the conversation around his potential candidacy is heating up. With 14 years of experience as a Rockie, Blackmon has a deep understanding of the team's culture and the challenges they face, particularly the infamous Coors Field hangover.

What do you think? Is Blackmon the right choice to lead the Rockies into a new era? His unique background as a former pitcher and elite player gives him a distinct perspective that could benefit the team. But does being a fan favorite and having a strong public persona translate into effective management skills?

Some fans are eager for a change from Bud Black, but is Blackmon's familiarity with the organization enough to warrant a promotion? Or should the Rockies look outside for fresh ideas and strategies?

Let’s also consider Blackmon's innovative approach to problem-solving. His attempts to tackle the Coors Effect by working closely with coaches and utilizing advanced training methods show a proactive mindset. Could this kind of initiative be what the Rockies need in a manager?

Share your thoughts! What qualities do you think are essential for a successful manager in today’s game? And if you were in charge, would you take a chance on Blackmon, or do you have someone else in mind? Let’s get the discussion rolling!
