Would you rather play Omar Vizquel or Albert Pujols at shortstop?

I will always take a top notch shortstop that is competent at the plate (which Omar definitely was) for the reason that a shortstop of his caliber will save you roughly one run per game. When you add in his ability to produce runs, I think the scale tips slightly towards his favor.

For a player to save 1 run a game he would literally have to be Superman.

Superman as your CF would be SICK

Evidence that a top-notch SS saves a run per game? Relative to what?

Hmmm...I still don't think its true. I don't think a top-notch SS saves 1 run per game more than I would. Might be close, though, but compared to ANY major leaguer at any position...no chance.

That was a thing of beauty.

LOL at saying that Pujols wouldn't be MUCH worse than Michael Young or Jeter at SS, then using A-Rod as evidence why

Seriously, this isn't even close. Pujols would be bad bad compared to the two above.
