Basically, a great player who is not an "alpha" leader of a team or face of a franchise. Think about all the criticism of Rendon for being so relaxed, smiling too much, not "caring" enough. Backstrom basically had the same criticism, despite being one of the best centers in the game. To me, it's a no-brainer to lock up Rendon. He is not someone who will be the Bryce Harper marketing juggernaut (like Ovechkin, in this analogy), but will produce and earn his paycheck. They fly under the radar nationally despite being really dang good, but don't seek out the spotlight or anything.
Would injury prone fit in?
