LeMahieu confident in self, approach to game

Analysis of Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu often devolves into argument. One side promotes him as an underappreciated master of defense and possessor of an offensive game no longer appreciated. The other denigrates him his .404 career slugging average in six Rockies seasons — not high enough with home games at Coors Field — and essentially devalues the importance of the traits that have earned him Rawlings Gold Glove Awards.
