The 26-year-old, who just signed a massive $500 million extension, is hitting .278 this season with two homers and 11 RBIs. One of the most productive players in the league, he's a four-time All-Star, a Gold Glover and a two-time Silver Slugger.

He finished sixth in the American League MVP voting last season.
