Who do you think are the 2 best short stop's in MLB?
Question:I am going to have to go with Derek Jeter and Jose Reyes. Jose Reyes makes few errors, is a good hitter and is leading the MLB in stolen bases.
Derek Jeter is a legend in New York and broke a hitting record last night. He has been the life of the yankees for a very long time.

What do you hate about Jeff Kent?
I personally would rather my SS be great with the leather, rather than be a good hitter. Obviously a guy like Jeter does both, but really, offensively Jeter's talent boils down to hitting for average.Reyes is very talented, and might be the all around best player in baseball right now, but he doesn't hit for good average, doesn't hit for power, and is an above average base stealer (not one of the greats of all time though).
Hanley Ramirez hits for better average and more power and is just as fast, but you won't here his name mentioned as much as the best SS.
Jack Wilson defensively is probably the best SS, but lacks a bat. Although he did win a Silver Slugger two years ago.
Jimmy Rollins is also pretty decent, as is Edgar Renteria.
Really, there are no 5 tool SS in MLB, so you have to figure out who has the most tools, and if any one tool is that much more dominant than everyone else.
Tejada doesn't steal much or hit for good average, but he does hit for good power and play good D. He also never misses a game.
Reyes - Runs fast and plays good D.
Jeter - Hits for average and plays good D.
Wilson - Plays good D.
Rollins - Hits for average and plays good D (his HR total this year is a fluke).
Hardy - Hits for power and average.
Renteria - Hits for average and plays good D.
Ramirez - Hits for average, runs fast, plays good D.
Tejada - Hits for power, plays good D.
I'd say Hanley is the best SS, and I'd give a tie to Jeter and Tejada for the second spot. Jeter because he is so much more experienced than most of them, and he's a leader. Tejada because he never misses a game.
Does ne 1 know where i can find a tennesse softball tshirt?
I'm going w/ Jose Reyes and as much as I want to say Jimmy Rollins or Hanley Ramirez, I gotta go w/ Jeter too.Who is the best pitcher in the MLB.?
Even though I hate the Yankees, Jeter is definitely top 2 along with Reyes. And Jeter didn't exactly break a record. He moved ahead of Dimaggio on the all-time Yankee hit list. Although if he stays healthy, I'm sure he will eventually break the record. Reyes is a freakin' beast, both defensively, offensively, and on the bases.Four teams baseball needs to make the playoffs to have a lot of fan and media interest?
Being a Mets fan, its easy to say Reyes, and of course Captain Jeter is a gamer! But I think this year, Jimmy Rollins and JJ Hardy are having a beast of a year! I would go with J-Roll just because he's swinging a bat like his name is "WIlly Mays Hayes" in Major Leage the movie! hahaha!I would have to go Derek Jeter and Miguel Tejada Miguel is a slump right now but still hitting 306 he has a 1,116 game playing streak and hardly makes errors We all know what Derek Jeter can do
Will the orioles finish 2nd in division behind Red Sox? Yes?
OK, i agree with you on jose reyes. but i despise derek jeter with a burning passion (yup, im a red sox fan as opposed to a yankee). so im gonna have to go with Michael Young, MVP of last years All Star game. He is a clutch hitter and makes terrific plays at short. Don't take offense at what i said about jeter; i can't help it.How long will David Wright's hit streak last?
Khalil GreeneWho do you think will win the game today: Oakland A's or the Yankees?
Jose Reyes and JJ Hardy. At one time, Derek Jeter would have so been the choice. But---as time passes on...Who will win the series? cubs? sox?
Omar Vizquel, 40 yrs old and won another gold glove last year.Derek Jeter did not break a hitting record he just took over the 5th spot for most hits by a Yankee.
Now the best shortstops in the league would have to be Jose Reyes, and Edgar Renteria as of this year alone. Jeter is good but is not as hot as previous years
Can a Red Sox fan tell me how it feels?
Right now-Jeter/ReyesNext Year-Hanley Ramirez/ Reyes

What baseball bat is better the Easton Stealth or the Easton Comp?
Who is the person who doesn't think Jose Reyes is a true 5 tool SS?He hits roughly .300, with 20+ HR in 2006, makes few errors, 60+ SB, and can basically do anything on the field.
He is still young, but amazing.
I would have to say H. Ramirez as the #2 SS in the game right now.
Jeter is the best shortstop in baseball, not just based upon numbers but also the intangibles he brings to the game. You mention Reyes, and I can't argue against it, but Jimmy Rollins certainly deserves to be mentioned in this category. Of course if A-Rod and Nomar were still playing shortstop, we might be having a totally different argument.
Who was the pitcher who ended Pete Rose's 44 game hit streak?
Jimmy Rollins comes through when the Phillies needs him, (even though he is in a hitting slump right now)can steal a fair amount of bases and has a great attitude. and Derek Jeter excatly the reason u said. Jose Reyes is a good shorstop, but i HATE him, and the mets with a passion. he is a good athlete, but is a punk. and yea i am a Phillies fanWho did Nolan Ryan throw his last no-hitter against?
#1 - Jose Reyes. He's the most exciting player in the game and he's the best all around player in baseball. (I know people are gonna say Pujols is the best all around player in baseball. But now that Pujols is off the HGH, we all see what he's doing this year)#2 - Hanley Ramirez. He's the same type of player as Jose Reyes, very exciting, very fast, good hitter. Him and Reyes are going to be the star class of the Shorstop position for years to come.
Who would you rather have on your team Jose Reyes (NYM) or Derek Jeter (NYY)?
Jeter is #1. No need to put up any stats to back it up, he's that good. Reyes is second at the moment, but he is a hamstring pull away from being #5 or 6. JJ Hardy right now is having the best year, but has to play a few more years until he can be ranked up in the top 5.Will baseball be like this in the future?
derek jeter and jose reyes.I'm gonna say Jose Reyes and Derek Jeter.
