Future of the Franchise

There's many who look at him and think he's an infielder. And when pressed to explain why: "if his loopy power swing develops as expected, he'll hit like one too." Fingers are crossed over here. 

Critics will point to his lack of patience and lack of a great contact rate as an indicator that his impact in the majors will be limited. However, he is recorded as having a great and electric personality. I hope Cleveland buys in to chemistry being important to a team's success. 

In his first at bat, Soler homered. And with the other 88 major league at bats he accrued in his break-in season, .292 average with a .330 obp and .573 slugging, so maybe big league projections aren't always accurate. 

Team MVP

The Claw, a nickname only his closest of personal friends use, doesn't need words to describe how great he is. Just the mere thought, the idea, of how good he is, reverberates throughout whatever room you happen to be standing in. People intuitivly understand and acknowledge that you are contemplating The Claw's greatness. 

Whisper his name and snow begins to fall at the North Pole. Speak of his virtues, and angels recieve their wings. 

His opponents nod in respect as they walk back to the dugout, a knowing look that they understand that at least they were a part of something special. 

His name is Clayton Kershaw.
