What should Rendon's nickname be?

The Grin: no need for explanation
7 (11.7%)
El Martillo:  Spanish for "The Hammer;" earned by the comparison of his wrists and swing to Aaron's
5 (8.3%)
Tony "Two bags":  in honor of his doubles, not his once and maybe future position. sounds vaguely mobbish.
29 (48.3%)
The Hitman:  also has mob overtones
19 (31.7%)

Bump!

Hitting .286/.377/.514 over his last 30 games, pushing his season slash line to .260/.343/.431. That is not a whole long way from his 2014 line of .287/.351/.473. If you put your head in the sand and like April didn't happen, Rendon is actually hitting better than 2014. He's also been healthy this season. Second most games played on the team.

Right now Werth's OBP is high enough you want him in the 2 slot, but I'm looking forward to the day Rendon slots back in that 2 hole and is is banging in doubles and tons of RBIs thanks to Turner.
Rendon's line since the beginning of May is now .273/.359/.498 with 15 homers and 11 steals over that time.

He's so freaking good with the bat. Also a solid glove and base runner. If he were to stay healthy he's an all around star at third.
