While he's not a Major League hitter, you have to give it up to a guy who has forged an MLB career, and made the lists you mentioned, while being unable to do half of what it takes to be a Major League Baseball player.

But seriously, how many teams haven't had mostly shitty SS over that span also? Other than A-Rod, who was the last Mariner SS that mattered? I can't even remember a good Royals or Astros SS (Dickie Thon?!). Before Furcal, the Dodgers had the likes of Izturis, Cora, and Offerman. I'm sure there are more examples. It's the hardest position to fill with a good hitter so it's understandable. Plus, that stupid JP guy didn't draft Tulo and Hill didn't stick at SS, or else no one would be talking about this.SPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861389212599241745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-58419761842243301542010-07-21T13:55:37.598-04:002010-07-21T13:55:37.598-04:00Great read.
