Among established stars who did not disappoint in 1968 is last off-season's big free agent acquisition, centerfielder, Ryan Rodgers.
While Rodgers offensive numbers took a dip from previous levels, this is attributable to a generalized league wide trend. Rodgers finished 1st in the MGL in OBP and 2nd in BA, 3rd in WAR, 4th in OPS, OPS+,weighted OBA, and triples, and 6th in hits. All while providing his usual gold glove caliber defense.
Lefthanded flame-thrower Daniel Torres continued to be the ace of the staff (with apologies to Steve Alonso, who was also very good).
And the bullpen continued to be anchored by the All-Star reliever Miguel Solis, who took another step forward to super-stardom at age 28.
