He leads his team in value, playing a new — and demanding! — position. Interestingly, he’s about 4 WAR better than Cole Hamels, the player he was most commonly linked to in preseason trade talks.

He was a rookie in 2014! Had too many appearances in 14 to qualify as a rookie in 15. Get your facts straight!
