|Elflocko| Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 Phenomenal player on a small market team that never achieved postseason success or a championship. No chance, sadly, as he's one of the most exciting players I've ever seen...
T-Dub Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 ^ that's pretty much it. "Hall of Fame" not "Hall of Skill"
TimKrumrieFan Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 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.
Jason Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Posted May 7, 2016 I will say I have never seen a better defensive 2B.
TimKrumrieFan Posted May 9, 2016 Report Posted May 9, 2016 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.
|Lucid| Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Is he HOF worthy? Absolutely.Will he make it? I doubt it.
