I agree, A-Fraud should have had it. But Mo put them in that difficult situation by getting knocked all over the place and NOT THROWING STRIKES. That was killing me today.
I've never been a big Pay Rod fan. I respect his offensive game but he just doesn't have the look of a winner to me (or a leader for that fact). Take into what he's being paid, he should be all that and more. I guess I have huge expectations for him and he hasn't met them yet. I always hated him too when he was a Mariner so hard to change my feelings without doing something of substance.

agree with ozzie smith .. he was awesome with the glove .. but we can also say the same for omar vizquel (now with sf) .. was awesome at cleveland, especially at this peak .. was awesome with the glove, and the throw to first was magnificant .. i have seen him turn many many dp's ..

funny thing about him...
when he first came back to safeco field after signing that 250 mil contract with the rangers, some fans were holding fishing rods with dollar bills attached at the end

If we're talking defensive SS's, you seem to be forgetting Omar Vizquel.

Ever since that slap last year in the ALCS, I've hated AROD..... but before that and still to this day, I believe he is and will be the best all-around baseball player of all-time... so yeah, I think he's the best player of all-time, better than the Babe when it's all said and done... he just has a sucky attitude... then again I thought Ken Griffey Jr. was going to be the best player of all-time, which he would have been if he never left Seattle...

My sleeper this year are the Astros. Granted, they went to game 7 of the NLCS but nobody is giving them respect now. I think they're going to give the Cardinals and Cubs fits all year.
Go Red Sox..
