Elvis Andrus

Elvis Andrus is the kind of player I keep coming back to. He signed with the Braves at sixteen as an international prospect out of Maracay, then spent the bulk of his career as the Rangers' shortstop before stops in Oakland and Chicago. Two All-Star nods over a long run tells you the durability was real. I have always preferred the defensive shortstop to the home-run guy. The position demands you quarterback the whole infield, and Andrus did it for years. A teenager from Venezuela who turns that gamble into a lasting MLB career, that earns my respect.
