Not really, but wanted to make a thread to discuss the White Sox latest rookie phenom and now a strong contender for AL Player on the Week.
Obviously he's not going to OPS 2.500 for the rest of the season and probably won't even have another 8-for-9 streak, but I'm not sure he's a Nicky Delmonico fluke either. This guy has a legit approach at the plate: they're not just throwing it into his wheelhouse because they haven't scouted him yet, he is spoiling off good pitches, changing his approach with 2 outs, he is having professional at-bats out there.
