Least Value Position Player-Runner Up

Maikel Franco

Franco is just 3 for 20(.150) and has struck out in 25% of his at-bats to start the season.

Hopefully, this is just a slow start for the fourth-year third baseman from the Dominican and not an area of concern moving forward.

Least Valuable Pitcher-Runner Up

Joely Rodriguez

The 25-year-old has been ripped in the early goings of the season.

Giving up three earned runs, five hits, and two walks in 2.1 innings pitched is a guaranteed way to get on the LVP list…or a minor league roster.
