Jimmy Rollins - Philly sports talk radio rant - Page 2

Reyes had a terrible season, and Ramirez is an awful fielder - it's quite possible Rollins was the best SS in the NL, and probably both leagues. I admit I haven't looked at the numbers and my BP subscription ran out.

Also, he is very overrated defensively, as he has average range at best, and Hanley and Reyes are 10 times better.

lolz. Find me some defensive statistics where Hanley is better than Rollins.

Just to beat a dead horse, Hanley is terrible defensively....Jeter terrible

Hanley should be moved to 3rd after Miggy is traded.

Demon Deac... do you really think fielding percentage is a good stat to guage how good a player is defensively.... think about it then answer

MikeyPatriot · #6 11-13-2007, 06:37 PM

Hanley is obviously <<< anyone defensively.

Fielding percentage and errors are not the reason why.

What is Hanley's defensive problem? Jeter like reflexes? Could he play CF? I don't see how moving him to 3rd would help things.

Demon,

Juan Pierre .293 BA
Prince Fielder .288 BA

Juan is a better hitter than Prince, right?

I'll give OP the benefit of the doubt that towards the end of the rant he didnt end his sentence about fielding and meant to say Reyes and Ramirez are better overall as a final point.

But Ramirez is quite clearly at the bottom of the league in fielding.
