Which player is almost as good as Todd Walker?

[CuseCubFan69]

If Walker played a whole bunch of games he would be the best player in the world some have claimed. I've tried to compile a list of players that are almost as good so please vote on one that might compare to the legend that is Todd Walker.

I know this is sarcastic, but I have a question.

 

Is it at all possible that Miggy just might not be as great as we all assumed?

Very possible. IMO since the Cubs have their leadoff hitter I like the possibilites of the things Tejada would bring. His attitude (from what I hear), durability, being a SS that can hit with power and average, and a decent fielder. Now, I don't know about his base running skills but to have a SS with those qualities are worth looking into IMO and it also allows the Cubs to have a nice platoon in RF. The Cubs are not guaranteed prduction from Murton as much as I would like to think they are and having a quality 4th OF that could slide into his spot would be a nice plus. (I know Duty would probably screw this up). He's also cheap salary wise compared to the prices SS's are now getting.

 

Now again back to your question, I think that ARod and Miggy are the only impact SS's I would trade a lot for. He's not a Cabrera or Pujols type hitter that makes hitting look effortless but I place a lot of importance on the SS position and I think having a SS that can hit 30/300/350 is worth selling the farm for. How many SS's have averaged that in the past 30 years?

 

I do admit I am also worried about this steroid thing with Raffy. I'm paranoid about that type of stuff to a fault and this worries me this off season more than any other one because of the cloud it has on players that had their numbers drop in 2005.

Dangit, I voted for Crash before noticing Charles Nelson Reilly. :cry:

How did Roy Hobbs not make this list? Is it the injury risk?
