Via Baseball Professor  |  February 18, 2012

He then returned in September and hit the ball with an authority...

Via Baseball Professor  |  February 18, 2012
I’ll be the first to admit, if Elvis Andrus didn’t play shortstop he wouldn’t be worth a draft pick this high, but given his position and skill set you can definitely justify it. He dominates in two categories (R, SB) and has the ability to contribute solid in another (BA). His xBA last season was .299, or 20 points lower than his actual batting average. He’...
