All things considered, this has been a wildly successful season for rookies Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres. They might finish first and second in the AL Rookie of the Year voting (in either order) and both will almost certainly finish in the top three. More importantly, they’ve both established themselves as long-term infield building blocks. It’s awesome.
Both Andujar and Torres have shined offensively this season — they rank first and second among all American League rookies with a 129 wRC+ and a 123 wRC+, respectively — but they’ve left something to be desired defensively. We’ve seen the errors and the misplays.
