Dansby Swanson is one of the last great white baseball player names left—they're all Kade or Blaise now—and to boot he's a beautiful man who fields his position with the grace of jungle cat. What a joy it is to watch him play this ancient game.

I was really mad when the Cubs signed him instead of Correa but it’s basically worked out. He’s sublime in the field and a league average bat.

He hits just enough that you don't get mad at him for more than a week or two. And good god, the glovework is so pretty.

a wild card answer to that question is Hurston Waldrep, which can either sound incredibly old-timey or like two names spelled backward

I'm not really clocking that as a name. That's just letters. (It is a good name, though. Once your eyes adjust to it.)
