He's not unstoppable. He won't steal two bases every single time you walk him. He can't hit a home run every time you dare to pitch to him. He's not 18 years old. It just seems as if these things are true. Every time he steps in the box he brings these impressions with him. Maybe they're a function of his smile and his bright eyes. Maybe they stem from his twisty 'do. Maybe they're a byproduct of his partnership with young David Wright. Whatever it is, this appearance of invincibility -- this is the essence of the thing. This is everything. And he's got it.

DAVID ECKSTEIN, SS, ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
In a country that loves gritty and gutty, he is the grittiest, guttiest cat of them all. He barely can throw the ball across the infield, and he chokes the bat like a T-baller. But he comes up big, comes up swinging, and is humble and gracious about every miraculous accomplishment. The guardians of days gone by like to think they have the market cornered on gamers, but this generation has its Eck. And though little, he stacks up.

The article sucks, but Eckstein is definitely the type of player he should include, and guys like ARod, Jeter and Pujols are ones that have no business being anywhere near it.

I think a lot of you missed hte point of this article. Not everything in baseball is some sabermetric dominated ZOMG he has the best VORP and PECOTA deal.
