Wow.

Safe to say Josh Dalton and Ryan Theriot weren't Rey Ordonez out there. Theriot contributed a bit more with the stick, though.

i dont think highly of Dalton, just think he was better than Theriot.

theriot did work on his craft by the time he got to the MLB. still wasnt anything more than an average MLB SS though

I'd say below average. Terrible range, poor arm. The Cubs tried to move him to second and that is where the Giants list him currently. Loved him as a Tiger, though.

That is true, but you do have to consider that the old bats resulted in some seriously hot balls. I think the new bats make grounders considerably easier to handle, but others may disagree I suppose.

Posted by Message tigers911 LSU baseball all time defensive team by position Andy had way better range than Nola. He made more plays behind the bag at second in one year than Nola made in 4. Nola is solid but his range is not close to Andy's.

Wow. Not close to being true. Andy was not close on arm strength or release from off balance. Those plays to the third base side Nola makes are MLB quality.

True. They are not smoked as much either. I will agree Nola has that advantage for sure. Too bad we didn't have Andy all 4 years.

Pete Bush at 1B and Mike Papajohn in CF were defensive heroes of mine when I was a little kid, but I'm too young to objectively compare them to anyone else. I just know that they made a lot of awesome stretches / spectacular diving catches.

How good was Keith Osik at 3B? I can't really remember him very well, other than when he played all 9 positions that one night.

Man this is fricking laughable.

You ever heard of Micah Gibbs, Brad Cresse, Todd Walker



You thought Cresse was a great defensive catcher?
