Addison Russell is our shortstop.
If you don’t agree with that shortstop, I’ll kindly ask you to close your browser window and refrain from reading my work in the future. I know Starlin Castro has the history and the hot bat and Javy Baez has potential for days, but Russell’s skill’s at short outpace either of them and I don’t think it’s even a particularly close race.
With the game suddenly back on the line in the 9th on Saturday, Russell made an insane diving stop before going airborne once more and shoveling the ball to Baez for the game’s final out.
