Ask anyone who watches the White Sox who they believe could be the next South Sider to win MVP, and chances are they’ll say Luis Robert. He’s got a powerful bat, he catches practically every ball hit his way and he’s got incredible speed, and he showed it all off on Tuesday in the team’s home opener. It may feel like a little taste of what the future could hold for Robert, but don’t let Tony La Russa catch you using the word “little” to describe any part of what Robert displayed.
“He showed a *lot* of why he’s so special,” La Russa said.
