Seems crazy that we don’t have a thread for Xander in 2021. Entering play on Monday, he’s hitting .349/.396/.589/.985 with 7 homers, 10 doubles, and a wOBA of .421. He leads all shortstops in average, OBP, SLG, OPS, wOBA, and fWAR (1.6). He’s tied for first among shortstops in doubles, and is tied for third in homers, one behind Bichette and Baez. He leads all of MLB in hits with 45. It was mentioned in the gamethread either yesterday or Saturday that the Sox should give X the C, and I agree. He’s an incredible player, a leader on the team, the longest tenured Sox player, and a two-time champ. Watching him play is so much fun
