Rougned Odor as 2017 American League MVP
Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor is known for his hitting. It just happens to be in the form of making contact with Jose Bautista’s jaw.
This time around, the 23-year-old is using his aggression for good and proving he’s just as talented in the batter’s box. However, saying Odor is already an American League MVP candidate is not only silly, but way too soon to be discussing such matters.
In 23 plate appearances this season, Odor has a .318/.348/.775 line with a .455 ISO. That’s ridiculous no matter who you are, but like I mentioned we are creeping into our second week of real baseball so calling someone the Most Valuable Player is a bit far fetched.
Don’t get us wrong, Odor is one of the power-packed second basemen that put the position on the fantasy map in 2016. But let’s slow our roll before we get too far ahead of ourselves.
