    Defense only, it's probably Franklin Gutierrez.

    I watch him everyday, and I can tell you the defensive worries are real, he isn't bad, but he needs work on his jumps, UZR agrees.

    For the next 5 years Colby Rasmus is the only players I would even discuss taking over McCutchen in CF. Hamilton is going to move to a corner as he ages, and CarGo is going to bulk up and move to a corner spot. I guess Victorino should be included, but I don't consider him a star, solid regular who plays on a good team. After those guys, everyone has a flaw.

    All defense, questionable offense guys like Gardner, Bourn, and Guitierrez.

    Vets who broke out late have shorter primes; Pagan, Byrd, and Torres.

    Young players who are overrated; Chris Young, Austin Jackson, Matt Kemp.

    Old players who are overrated; Hunter, Granderson, Upton.

    I'm not sure how you figure Torii Hunter as 'overrated'.

    Angel Pagan is a piece of shit.

    WTF does him being a "gamer" have to do with anything?

    People tell me Craig Counsell is a gamer, that must make him one of the best SS's in baseball, yes?

    The Giants would probably trade Rowand for a bag of balls if the other team would pay half his salary.
