Royals' focus on stopping White Sox starts with Robert

Luis Robert has wowed White Sox fans in Chicago, but appreciation of his talents doesn't stop there.

The White Sox center fielder will look to continue his strong rookie season Saturday when Chicago plays the second game of a four-game road series against the Kansas City Royals.

Robert, who debuted this season, is perhaps the leading candidate to win the American League Rookie of the Year award. He is batting .277 with a .920 OPS. He also has 11 home runs and 27 RBIs in 37 games, numbers that convert to 48 home runs and 118 RBIs over 162 games.
