Do i believe he should be a 1st ballot hof? probably yea, i could see it. is he a top 5 shortstop of all time? no. even tho he is known for the jump throw, his defensive war is the 2nd worst in history behind micheal young or yuniesky betancourt (started tht stat in the 90's i think or early 00's) he struck out the most out of all players with 3000 hits or more. never won an mvp (even tho he deserved it in 06) never really lead the league in any offensive stats (once or twice in hits) and his last couple of years were rlly bad (except the year before last) everyone praises jeter like he's the son of god and just because he stayed with 1 team. he only led his team to 1 ws (he didnt lead them in the late 90's he was a part of the team) watch the keith olbermann video on it. i still believe he's a 1st ballot, but he never would of gotten tht recognition if he played in Tampa or Milwaukee.

      Pierce Hubbard I think it was his attitude, he came across as fake. Maybe he was just misunderstood during his playing days because his love for the game and the Yankees seems quite genuine now. It never felt that way when he was playing. I don’t think it was entirely the steroids, Andy Pettitte did steroids and he’s still beloved by Yankee fans. The way Alex went about the whole steroid saga was an embarrassment. Threatening to sue everyone and denying everything; had he just owned up to his mistake in the moment it would have all blown over and been forgotten. No doubt he had some great years and was a huge part of the 09’ championship but he just felt phony. He’s much more genuine and likeable now and I enjoy his commentary and perspective. I wish he had acted this way as a Yankee.

      You don't get to be Nolan Arenado without doing more than that much work. How would he know how to do all this as in depth as he does without doing much more work than this. Just because he makes it look easy doesn't mean it comes easy.

      PUIG nah Chapman is a better defensive player by a little bit. Go check the tape. They severely underrate Chapman because he is on Oakland and baseball doesnt like Oakland for introducing sabrmetrics and revolutionizing the game. Old time fans will never give Oakland players the love they deserve. Witth that being said Arenado is my very very close second for best defensive third baseman and I think anyone is free to argue between those two because they are in a different class defensively than Machado or especially Bregman
