Mariners' Julio Rodriguez doing everything he can to shut up the haters

Julio Rodriguez is, for whatever reason, one of those players.

He's a guy that a segment of the Seattle Mariners fanbase loves to hate.

He's also one of the best players in baseball, and sometimes, the hate is probably a bit much.

Take this reality: Rodriguez leads all MLB centerfielders in Fangraphs' Wins Above Replacement this season.

Check out the leaderboard: Julio Rodriguez has now arguably been the best CF in MLB this season.

Please read the replies to this post for a second if youd like a good laugh https://t.co/6W6cfzHKvf pic.twitter.com/tHGktK9JgJ MORE: Switch-hitting should be impossible, but Cal Raleigh makes it historic Rodriguez has the occasional blunder on the bases, sure.

Julio is special, and he likely will be for a long time.
