GA didn't play RF

Vlad didn’t play LF.
and Torii is spelled with 2 “i’s”

Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34

Orlando Cabrera for SS of the 2000’s and Adam Kennedy for 2B of the decade. Also, I know Kendry Morales is the better player but has he really spent enough time with the big club to make the list? I’d be tempted to put Darin Erstad in that spot.

I was gonna say, where is Ersty?

Are you basing this list on stats alone? Intangibles? Everything? Your favorites + emotion?

I’d have to have Ersty. I don’t think that ‘grit’ has yet to be replaced in the lineup.

And although one year does not define a player of course, in 2000 he led the AL in hits (240), singles (170) and at-bats (676), was second in total bases (366) and third in runs (121) – also hit .355 and second in the batting race behind Nomahhhh (.372).

And became the first player in MLB history to record 100 RBIs as a leadoff hitter.

He picked who he could remember, knows.

joined yesterday.

and he was a damn good defender

Its worth saying again that he is the ONLY player to win a Gold Glove at OF and 1B. Then again, it is the gold glove awards so that doesn’t necessarily mean much.

i would put figgins at 2nd

over eckstein. I know he’s more of a utility guy but you gotta put him somewhere

2009 was good. Now on to 2010 - Let's go Halos!
