|Elflocko| Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimKrumrieFan Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I will say I have never seen a better defensive 2B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimKrumrieFan Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
