May 7, 20169 yr comment_1505959 Honestly, I think he's the best defensive 2B ever.If he were in a bigger market or if the Reds had made a run and won a ring I think he would have had a legit shot like Flocko was saying. Instead I think he will not be remembered as well as he should have been and will have to settle for just the Reds HOF.He also never really got to hit in a spot of the lineup he was truly meant for. Because they built such a shitty roster he was always getting moved around in the lineup and asked to be more of a power guy to offset half the garbage lineup they put around him. And the media gives no coverage in how he was a top prospect coming up with gold glove potential at SS and got moved to 2B out of necessity and lack of a spot open at SS. Then he ends up being a gold glove 2B and arguably the best defensive 2B ever.
May 9, 20169 yr comment_1505985 I will say I have never seen a better defensive 2B.Nor has my dad and he has seen many of the great 2B in his lifetime.
