Shortstop Career Charted

The late 90's and early 2000's was the glory days for shortstops. Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Nomar Garciaparra were the big three. A-rod the stat monster. Garciaparra the entertainer. Jeter the winner. Wilt Chamberlin, Doctor J and Bill Russell seem to be fair NBA comparisons.

Career Charted: Third Base Poll

#ShotsFrday 4/27

Much fewer puns in this weeks post. Judge failed 3 people. @Lele670 did get a homer out of Giancarlo Stanton. This is the first home run for both @lele670 and Stanton. Put myself in the enviable position of 3 picks last week and 2 hit. Both Javier Biaz and Kyle Schwarber went deep for me to get me up to 4 on the year and 1 for each of them. I am excited to watch the over performing Blue Jays face the Rangers who look to have some fun players this year. My picks for tonight are Joey Gallo with a G. Shin Soo-Choo and Nomar Maraza. Enjoy your favorite work appropriate beverage even though work is all but over.

#ShotsFriday 4/27 Poll

Career Charted: Second Base

This had a shocking result for me how much Roberto Alomar monopolized the votes. The tribe has spoken against Jeff Kent with 0 votes. Craig Biggio was the person I expected to get the most votes. It turned out Alomar got 6 and Knoblauch got 2. Chuck I expected to get some love and I will cover below.

Alomar had nothing memorable during his time in San Diego. He was the son of Sandy Alomar Sr and brother of Sandy Alomar Jr. He is easily the most talented of the Alomar crew. He would move over to Toronto after 3 seasons and that is where his career starts to pick up. By 1992 Roberto Alomar would become a great #2 hitter on a World Series winning team. He would start racking up the hardware with his first of 10 Gold Gloves.

Things are heating up this season. @Piatz1019 extended his streak to 2 weeks with Cody Bellinger going deep after a friendly reminder. To make the competition a little bit more interesting I tied him by having George Springer go deep twice for me last Friday.

I am interested in watching the game in the Mile High Stadium tonight. I am going with 3 Cubs to smoke a ball into the seats tonight against a struggling Jon Gray with his +6 ERA. I am going with Javier Biaz, Kyle Schwarber and Kris Bryant as my 3 picks for tonight.
