i feel the 90's was a classic era of shortstops for a while however the position has changed drastically with more offense production from shortstops.

i mean Ozzie Smith was a standard to me and then a cat like Derek Jeter did his thing.

i use to dig Dave Conception and Gary Templeton as well.


NoMar was badd for a minute and A Rod was pretty good there.

who is your all time 5 at shortstop?

Dude was such a defensive monster that it wasn't even funny. He never was a great offensive player, but his fielding was top notch.

Never Tired, Always Sleepy

Not going to put guys like Honus Wagner or Ernie Banks who I never saw play on while they may be better than some guy son the list.

i will only look at guys i've actually seen play and say that the wizard, omar vizquel (personal favorite) and barry larkin would be on my list either way.

a rod would absolutely be on my best list, but not my favorites. i'd replace him with jose offerman, because i liked the way he killed dodgers fans with record numbers of errors.

i would fuck around and put jroll on both lists but he probably only deserves to be on the favorites chart.

cal ripken was a helluva player but i thought he was slightly overrated. i started watching baseball avidly in his MVP season, but i guess that was not too long before he started to decline. you've got other guys who could hit like miggy. of course jeter, but fuck jeter.

i dunno, i think this machado kid is a stud, first guy i've seen in a little while that i think might have HOF potential at short.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

now I the problem i see with Ripken is that he lost eddie Murray as a shield in the way Dale Murphy did with Bob Horner and RIpken did fall off however he is a Great player.

Larkin is a cat i dug and yet i don't always say him but he was badd.

i was a kid when if a Shortstop hit more than 5 home runs in a season then he was rare, now fast forward to the 90's til now and it seems the norm.

why? i grew up during the 80s in the H & dickie thon was the gatdamn man


do or die

if we're just talking defense, Rey Ordonez had a 3-4 year prime that was possibly the best I've ever seen the position played. Sick range, and amazing plays nightly.
