Who is the better defensive shortstop -- Ozuna or Uribe? Just curious as to your thoughts.

Edited by Jabroni

In my opinion it isnt really close, Uribe is a stud defensive SS while Ozuna is avg.

where is the goddamn choice for Willie Harris?!?!? Come on!!!! :banghead

Edited by kyyle23

Uribe, no contest.

I agree with Rock, Uribe's arm is just outstanding and he's got pretty good range, Ozuna just doesn't really match up.

Well, there's no rigging to be done since both Ozuna and Uribe are on the Sox.

Maybe because Harris doesn't play SS, nor has he played nearly enough SS to garner an opinion on his abilities at the position. But hey, I guess you could say the same thing about Ozuna too, so the obvious choice is Uribe here...solely based on we haven't seen nearly enough of the other two guys play at SS.

 

But sure, if we want to go off of small sample sizes and such, we have a debate. :P

Sorry, Im not used to the whole green thing, I will work on it though. I thought the sarcasm in my statement was pretty obvious though :D

LOL, it went completely over my head...mostly because I don't know what to expect out of people around here. But good show w/the sarcasm there. :cheers

How could you not love Uribe’s arm! He’ll gun you from the outfield! Uribe all the way!

right back atcha :cheers

Oh without a doubt Uribe. The thing I always think about though is how better off would the Sox be if they'd have forked over 3 years instead of 2 for Vizquel...put Uribe at 3rd. I know the money was an issue so you might be lookin at no AJ (who's invaluable IMO). And I know hindsight sucks...but this team would be so better off with Viz at short...Uribe at 3rd...Willie in center and ARow in right. Just hypothetical if a decent discount RFer couldn't have been found.

Well, the Giants ain't going anywhere. Maybe we can still get him?

The money was not as big of an issue in my opinion as that third year was. You just don't hand out a three year deal to a player of his age that has had some health problems in the last few years.

This just occured to me. Have you ever seen Uribe make a head-first diving play? Either for a catch or before getting up and throwing out a runner?

 

Oh, and Uribe, no contest.

Sneaky Cheat. It's like the opening day thread all over again. :lol:

Is it me or is Vizquel's range limited also compared to Uribe? I'm not seeing the same Omar as when he was with the Indians 3+ years ago.

Alright, seriously. Who voted Ozuna...
