Ranking the Rockies: No. 6 DJ LeMahieu stuck it to the haters

DJ LeMahieu entered 2015 coming off his first season as an everyday player. All he did in 2014 was win the National League Gold Glove at second base while posting a defensive WAR of 2.2. Despite this accomplishment, fans expressed concern over his offensive numbers, which declined for the second consecutive year in 2014. He was also a huge liability on the bases, getting thrown out just as often has he was called safe on stolen base attempts. LeMahieu addressed these issues and then some in 2015, putting together the best season of his career to date and making his first All-Star Game in the process.
