rendon isn't having that bad of a year.  the power isn't there, but a .415 obp is excellent. he's on track for 2.5 fWAR. the thing is, the first 3 years of his contract didn't come near the value of 3 years AAV ($105 million) due to the short season and the 2 mostly hurt yrs. i assume 2020 was pro-rated so the angels didn't lay out $35 million for it, and he was excellent that year, but he just didn't run up the expected value.
