why the irrational hate for jimmy rollins by people? position adjusted he is the most valuable player on the phillies going forward, yet everybody blows howard and utely.

I down with the TT love but is this a typo?

Utley crushes Rollins at the bat, even giving Rollins the positional boost, and Utley is a better 2b than Rollins is a SS. Or if you want to add in the positional adjustment on defense, then Rollins is little more valuable defensively but Utley crushes him as a hitter.
