Here's the place to talk about the career of:
Jorge Rodriguez
Center Field
Active Career: 2018-2034 (17 seasons)
2508 hits, 505 HR, 1651 RBI, .293/.350/.518 80.9 WAR
Sawyer Silk Award: 2022, 2023
6-Time Charles Pucket Golden Bat
6-time Zimmer Diamond Glove

# Combined with Juan Escobar, part of a marque dynamic duo. Rodriguez was a sublime fielder at a key position, and combined that athletic grace with a bat that terrorized pitchers. He's got the counting numbers, he's got the advanced metrics, and he's got the standards (that black ink says he rarely led the league in various categories, but the smashing gray ink says he was pretty much always in the mix).
