yes laugh at me, but Cano is just having a flat out off year, he is still one of the top 3 2nd Basemen in the MLB, Nick Punto is a surprise to most on the list, but he is one of the best defensively and if not in the top 5 yet will be there soon.

 

i disagree. kinsler is better than pedroia, uggla, and cano. here's the real list:

 

utley>kinsler>pedroia>uggla>roberts. pedroia starting over kinsler in the all star game was a joke

Why? Kinsley is older than Pedroia and he has been better than Kinsler both this year and in his rookie year last year. Plus, Kinsler might aswell play the field with a lead glove and plays in a little league park.

HAHAHAHA! HAHAHA! HAHA! (I only did that because you asked me to).

 

 

Punto sucks, first off. This is the first season in his 7 years that he's been anywhere near average. Plus, he's a backup! He's not even a 2nd baseman! He only started 23 games at 2B this year and all of them where because their everyday 2B, Alexi Castilla, was on the DL. As soon as he came back, Puntolicious was right back where he belongs, on the pine pony.

 

When Alexi Castilla blocks you from being the everyday 2B, you aren't good.

 

Also, I don't think Cano is better than Uggla but I can see the argument for it. This year has been absolutely terrible for him, though.

 

But really, it is hard to take the argument of someone who puts Punto in the top 6 of a position he doesn't play. (Top 6 bench players?)

 

yes, i have major man love for Punto

Brian Roberts is good, but now-a-days he does not deserve to be considered in the top 5. I am not surprised people do not mention Cano because he has had an off year. I bet at this time last year u were sayin he was the best 2nd baseman in the MLB. Kinsler is good, but i feel this is the best he is going to get. From here i feel he will stay consistent but never reach those kind of stats again, Pedroia is just going to get better with age

 

umm, kinsler is only a year older than pedroia. roberts is still top 5 because even though he doesn't hit the sexy homeruns everyone likes seeing he still has a good average, good defense, and a high number of steals, and a decent number of RBI at the leadoff spot

pedroia was not better than kinsler in his rookie year. kinsler had more RBI, more HR, and more SB. pedroia is a better fielder than kinsler for sure

Rab i still think Pedrioa is better than Uggla

he'll be batting 300 for a few more seasons and he'll knock out 10-15 a year with 20-30 SB's a year

so ill go by career numbers

 

Utley Pedrioa Uggla Cano Kinsler

thats 1 and Kinsler only most of thoose homers because he plays in a hitters park and Uggla still has mor HR

he stikes out a lil more and now Kinsler is on the DL this is kinsler's 1st good year

Uggla has had a few good power years and Pedrioas on his 2nd good year Utley is having a breakout year to his superstardum

 

next year Kinsler dosent even put up half of the numbere he had this year while Uggla actually looks like hes getting better

kinsler has hit 14 of his 18 homeruns away from home and has an average over .300 away as well so the whole argument that he plays in a hitter friendly ball park isn't going to work here. it's just too bad kinsler is out for the rest of the season because i think he was going to put up career highs.

He's going to have career highs regardless.

i guess you right, except for walks and homeruns

Dunno what it is, but I've never been a fan of the power hitting 2B. I'm more of a fan of Luis Castillo circa 2000-type numbers:

 

Avg: .334

OBP: .418

Runs: 101

Steals: 62

BB: 78

 

Only 2 HR, 17 RBI, but who cares.

Luis Castillo and Joe Morgan are perfect 2b

great fielders

good speed

high AVG

f*ck u all, i already said i have a man crush on Nick Punto and his diving catches

 

also I am also a guy who likes Luis Castillo like players, have never liked the power hitting 2nd baseman type

The one biggest gripe I have against Uggla is that he's simply not a very smart guy. He has made some head scratching decisions on the baseball field to be sure. I'm not really fond of that type of ball player at all.

thats why pedrioa is great as a 2b he fields great has abov avg speed and hits the sh*t out of the ball with avg and has 10 to 20 hr power which is poretty good for a guy with a 300 avg and high ass obp

Smallball guy?

 

That said, Luis could never give us the offensive numbers that Uggla gave us, but he was awesome. Also, that .334 AVG and .418 OBP was really a one time thing. His OBP as a Marlin is .370. .293/.370/.400 are his Marlins career numbers, btw.

That doesn't make him good. You need to realize to think with your head, not with emotion. I love Jason Wood and Sergio Mitre, but that doesn't make them the best 1B and SP in baseball history respectively.

If I remember correctly Castillo always seemed like he was hobbled by some sort of injury. Its a shame his speed disappeared a bit because of it, though he was still fast, just not nearly as fast as when he first came into the league. But he was a fundamentally sound player and a smart baseball player, and also a very unselfish baseball player.
