Who's better off playing shortstop for the Dodgers? Izturis or Furcal?

I really think both players are great shortstops, but I would choose Izturis without a doubt. Furcal is a better offensive player(.284 in 2005, .264 in 2006) than Izturis(.257 in 2005), but not by much.  Izturis on the other hand is a much better defensive player than Furcal. Furcal might have a stronger arm, but he commits more errors and he has less accuracy with his throws. I don't think they'll trade Izturis.

I would choose francisco liriano... because hes a lefty who throws mid 90s and hes only 22 and i would say david wright... he has one of the best swings in baseball and hes a good defensive player... the cubs need a solid third baseman and a pitcher who can actually pitch in 30 games rather be hurt for 100...\nBTW im not a cubs... but i do like derrick lee... sacramento boy and im from sacramento...

Either Alex Rodriguez or Albert Pujols.

I'd have to go with A-Rod at the moment. His stats are similer to Pujos but A-rod plays a slightly more demanding defensive posisiton. A close second is Pujos. \n\nFor the season that's close. Pujos, Berkman, Swisher, Hafner and Thome are having really good years. Nobody is really just taking the year by storm yet. Several other players with a hot streak could be right up there with this group. \n\nJose Contraras on the other hand is having a monster year so far. 5-0 with a 1.41 ERA. Webb is next closest with 6-0 2.30 ERA. \n\nSo best player this season I'd hand it to Contraras so far.

It depends on what your team needs.  \n\nLopez - good RBIs / not so good average (free swinger)\nIguchi - good runs & average & decent steals / not as many RBI chances\n\nIguchi plays for the ChiSox offense & Lopez for the Mariners.  Advantage = Iguchi

Scott Proctor man. I just want to see Proctor gain some confidence and win over some of those intimidation presence Roger clemence has; maybe it ll help his pitching some. But it ll also be funny as hell if proctor all of sudden drills Ramirez just to get back at him for that homer yesterday or something. \nBut the better odds is leaning toward Big Unit; he is got to lose some command again this start, and he just might drill ramirez tonite.

McGwire swung for power in every at-bat of his career, while Pujols is a bit of a smarter hitter. By that I mean he knows when not to hit for power. Albert is also faster than McGwire, and he is a better defensive 1st baseman.

I LOVE the red sox soooooooooooooo much my favorite player is Jason Varitek. Screw all you Yankee fans!!!! Red Sox Rule!! Yankees Suck!!! especially GAY-ROD!!

I'm a diehard Red Sox fan, and I'd have to go along with Jeter.\n\nThere are better Shortstops out there and there are better hitters out there, but I'd be hard-pressed to think of a better leader, and the man's always thinking out there.  Look at that amazing playing against the A's in the 2001 ALDS, when from his SS position he grabs an errant relay throw DOWN THE FIRST BASE LINE and makes a backhanded relay to the plate.  I've never seen anything like it.  \n\nAnd afterwards, what does he have to say about it?\n\n"I was supposed to be there," Jeter said. "I'm supposed to read the throw. I just got there."\n\nClass act, pure and simple.

Honestly think this is a coin flip. Both are very good players and both could put up 30 HR and 100 RBI easily. If you need the power now, it would be best to go with Delgado of course. \n\nSticking with Cabrera wouldnt be that bad of an idea as he is usually better in the second half.

Option 1: Release him just like Arizona did with Ortiz.\nOption 2: Trade him to the Tigers to replace Inge who is hitting just over .200\nOption 3: Trade him to the Twins since they are releasing Tony Batista.\nOption 4: Trade him back to the Braves so they can move Chipper to first and use LaRoche off the bench.\nOption 5: Trade him to the Phillies to replace David Bell.\nThe only positive attribute that he has at age 38 is defense.\nAttempt to acquire some any minor leaguer aged under 25 for him.

The Red Sox.  Tejada is a sparkplug for the team, and one of the best shortstops around.  Manny is a great hitter but a liability everywhere else.  Manny making a great catch in left field is as remarkable as Tejada making an error at shortstop.  I like Manny but enough is enough and Tejada would be a breath of fresh air.

Ichiro because he is more of contact and not power. The Giants would need people on base if they want to score runs.

Although Derek Jeter is a better leader and has helped win many more games than Alex Rodrieguez, Rodrieguez has much more talent than Jeter.  Rodrieguez is probably the best player in the american league right now.
