between him or Weeks IMO

I would say he's easily the best in the NL and right there with Robinson Cano for best in the majors. Kid can do it all.

cano and utley are the class of 2nd baseman

Offensively I think Cano and Utley are the top two. Defense is no question Phillips is number 1. If I had to pick a 2B, I would go with Cano.

Bcatswin · 05-17-11, 04:28 PM

Utley? Really? What has he done this year? Nothing. Last year BP had better numbers than him, the year before about the same except more Hrs for Utley but more RBI's for BP.

Cano i can see he's younger like BP, but Utley no! He's going on his spin down.

Bcatswin · 05-17-11, 04:30 PM

That said i would def take BP if i was picking a 2nd baseman, its the way he plays the game all out all the time on every play.

BRAVES1985 · 05-17-11, 04:32 PM

CANO is on a different level then any other 2B

Bcatswin · 05-17-11, 04:36 PM

Offensively yes, all around no.

Br0nxer · 05-17-11, 04:38 PM

cano best second basemen

top 3 player in the game excluding pitchers

Bcatswin · 05-17-11, 04:48 PM

Top 3 player in the game

Nice 1 Bronxer

Jerm3462 · 05-17-11, 04:50 PM

BRAVES1985 · 05-17-11, 04:52 PM

1. bautista (right now)
2.pujols
3.cano

unusialsusp5 · 05-17-11, 04:53 PM

cano swings at everything now... no discipline...it's dustin pedroia although undersized his enthusiasm rubs off on the team and he does produce...

This year

Brandon Phillips
AVG HR RBI OBP
.322 5 26 .370

Robinson Cano
AVG HR RBI OBP
.286 9 25 .323

And Brandon has the HUGE edge in defense.

Bcatswin · 05-17-11, 05:09 PM

Im still dying over here that some think Cano is a top 3 player in the game

Flight · 05-17-11, 08:01 PM

Nice to see Phillips continue to improve year over year. Perfect guy to have at top of lineup.

Reds pitching needs to improve to make playoffs again though. J Cueto seems to be the only winner on the mound.

as much as i dislike the reds and phillips, the kid can play and every damn time he is in stl and everyone is booing the shit out of him he makes something happen, whole time im trying to tell these pricks to stop booing him he fukkin loves it.

to answer the question i think it very close with him and Cano. id love to have either one.

Thanks BigDan, coming from you that means a lot.

And I will say that Molina is probably the best catcher in the NL.
