August 25, 200619 yr If offense dsoesn't count, Alex Gonzalez wins in a landslide. Even if offense counted, Gonzalez by a smidge.
August 25, 200619 yr Edgar was the total package. He can still hit well, as long as it's not in a major-market city (see his Boston experience). His fielding has been Gold-Glove caliber for just about his entire career.
August 25, 200619 yr gonzo by a LONGGGG shot...he was amazing I wouldn't say by a long shot because Edgar was pretty good. But I went with A-Gon too.
August 25, 200619 yr I don't understand how people can pick Edgar over A-Gon with the glove... Alex was making those disgusting pop-slide and throw plays for a lot longer than Edgar was here...
August 25, 200619 yr Well, first he says that this is a vote for the best-Marlins SS of all-time, and then he adds "well, i was only talking defensively". There haven't been enough starting SS for this team to do a defensive-only vote. That pretty much comes down to two choices. Yes, A-Gon takes the defensive nomination. However, Edgar was no A-Rod with the glove, and I would take any day over A-Gon if I had to choose between the two. "Sea Bass" always annoyed me with his tendency to be an automatic out at the plate, and he was never as bad as Reggie is.
August 25, 200619 yr I voted Gonzo. Although both hold very special places in my heart.... Renteria's Game 7 hit. Gonzo's Game 4 Walk Off I'm still waiting for Hanley's dramatic World Series moment..............
August 25, 200619 yr Unfortunately Edgar didn't have a sterling career with the Fish and you all are basing your judgement on his overall career production.
August 25, 200619 yr I think Alex Conzalez is a very good SS...But there is no way he is better than Edgar Renteria...Better Hitter, baserunner, with a world of range...Gonzalez maybe a bit steadier with the glove but overall Renteria is the most complete player By thev way, no votes for Walt Weis?
August 26, 200619 yr I went w/ Renteria. Gonzo was great but he didn't have the bat to win this. Offense doesnt count
August 26, 200619 yr Come on Game 7 of the World Series game winning hit to clinch the world series!!! Edgar by far!!!! Gonzalez is better on d but edgar was still very good on defense! And offense you can't even compare. Gonzalez is hitting better with boston but he he hit like .220 most the time for the fish! EDGAR RENTERIA!
