If you think the edge in stolen bases are worth more than all that, I strongly disagree.

It’s good. I would probably disagree with the selection of Jeter at SS. He has slowed down a lot defensively in the past several years. His range is now compromised. I like Tulowitzki and Elvis Andrus more in the field. Give Tulo’s offensive power numbers, he’d be my first choice overall.

He leads the majors with a .338 BA and has 30 HR, 102 RS and 92 RBI plus 19 SB. Sorry but that is one HUGE snub.

Even if they are tied, it certainly does not require a slump on his part. it also requires Hamilton not outpacing him.

HAD MORE TO DO WITH THE DIFICULTY OF GETTING A “TOP CATCHER” TOAGREE TO SHARE THE BIGGEST SPOTLIGHT ON THE BIGGEST BASEBAL STAGE AS THE BACKSTOP FOR A PITCHER THROWING ELUSIVE BUMBLEBEES; NOT BUTTERFLIES DUE TO VELOCITY INCREASE THE PORTLY ERATIC BEE’S FLIGHT IS MUCH MORE COMPARABLE TO A DICKEY KNUCKLER IN THE MID-UPPER 70s.
FEW TOP CATCHERS WOULD VOLUNTEER TO BEGIN THEIR ALLSTAR OPENNING MISSING MORE PITCHES THAN HE’S CATCHING.
