against one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball to Houston, facing some of the AL's toughest arms, was an excellent reminder of the supersonic power of J-Rod's talent when he's really feeling it. When the best players in the world are in the zone, the quality of the opponent doesn't matter; players of Rodríguez's caliber will find a way to impact the game.
He took his lumps for the first few months and his plate discipline remains somewhat volatile, but Rodríguez is indeed delivering on the absurd expectations placed on him for his sophomore season. His recent historic run of hit collecting has his bat in the spotlight, but it's the center fielder's all-around game — elite arm strength, stunning speed on the bases, and Gold Glove-caliber defense at a position no one thought he'd ever play as a prospect — that makes him so special.
