Jimmy Rollins - Philly sports talk radio rant

[En Passant]

First off, I am a die hard baseball fan and I love the Phillies. However, I get tilted so bad when I hear uneducated morons on Philly sports talk radio saying Rollins is the best shortstop in the league. The idiot host Angelo, for those who know him, was saying Rollins is number one in the league, and Jeter is now second. WTF? Do you even watch baseball. Rollins is the third best shortstop in the division. He put up career numbers offensively this year and he still didn't top Hanley Ramirez. Also, he is very overrated defensively, as he has average range at best, and Hanley and Reyes are 10 times better.

wfan is awful???? aiy, maybe just coz that's what i grew up with, there are some idiots there like everywhere else, but for the most part, it's good imo

[DemonDeac]

Rollins fielding % = .985
Reyes fielding % = .982
Ramirez fielding % = .963

rollins had 11 erros
reyes had 12 erros
ramirez had 24 erros

good call on the defense

I'm not gonan go into hitting, but Hanley did better than the other two, but Rollins was clutch. you have to admit that

Granted, Angelo is an idiot, but ur rant was pretty f'ing worthless too

Please be leveling.

Obvious a level, very nice.

I was just ranting, so my post wasn't very legible. I meant Reyes and Hanley are 10 times better overall, and not 10 times better defensively. Hanley is a pretty poor fielder, but the Marlins will for sure move him to another position soon.

I don't believe that Reyes is "all flash." He has unbelievable range and arm. Sure, he had a bad year last year, but he is still very young and will rebound.

Edit: he isn't leveling lol... keep up the good work broseph. people like you are the reason why my beloved phillies haven't won the world series since 1980.

Double Edit: In my opinon, and in the opinion of other knowledgable baseball people, "clutch" doesnt exist. Players who have better numbers offensively, suprisingly, have more "clutch" hits. Coincidence? Nope, makes sense.

[AbreuTime]

Reyes is overrated imo. More flash than anything else. Ramirez is underrated obv, except on this board. Rollins is probably fairly rated (but most people dont realize that his defense is quite good.) If he wins MVP he'll be overrated. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[Suigin406]

reyes is pure flash with the glove??? he's a very good fielder, just like rollins, ramirez is well behind those 2 with the glove...

too bad reyes went 0-2nd half, not so sure on stats, but rollins had a sick finish to the season if that means much
