The best shortstop ever is Ozzie Smith. 13 straight Gold Gloves and he wasn't a bad hitter. He had 580 stolen bases in his career, #20 on the all-time list. Who can forget his game winning home run he hit in the 1985 playoffs against the Dodgers. Classic.\n\nCurrently, the best shortstop is Edgar Renteria. He had an off season hitting last year, but he is great defensively and a good solid hitter, especially in clutch situations. I think he has the best all around package at this point (defense, power, average, speed). Omar Vizquel is good too, but he's at the end of his career. I like Derek Jeter too, but I hate the Yankees too much and can't be objective about Jeter.

Easy....Pujols.  When you put up numbers that mirror that of Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio, any other answer besides Albert Pujols is ludicrous.

The Chicago White Sox  r a gr8 team. They waited over 80 yrs. for their opportunity, & the capitlized. Ozzie Guillen is the best Mgr. they ever had. They need 2 bring back Carlton Fisk as their hitting coach & Bobby Thighpen as thier pitching coach.

Roberto Carlos or saviola

Albert Pujols, hands down

Jay Marrioti (spelling?) from The Sun Times. Basically Marrioti was saying things about Ozzie's handling of the rookie that came up and Ozzie said some stuff about him. \n\nHe's also from AROUND THE HORN

I would have to either go with Andruw Jones or Chip, Chip, Chipper... Both have consistantly performed through out the duration of their career.  So my answer is most definitly John Smoltz.  Hes been a been around forever, and still is a killer pitcher.  He has changed his style to fit the improvement of hitters, and has been one hell of a gunslinger.  No question.

Urlacher is the best on defense and on the team but the best offense player is WR bernard Berrian.  I would say Grossman but he has been really bad the last couple starts.

Pujols without a doubt.  Thome is know to go into some major slumps.  Right now Pujols could be on his way to being one of the greatest PLAYERS ever.  His numbers are staggering for such a short career so far.  He is as intimadating as hell.  I saw him golf swing a pitch last week that still hasn't landed yet.  The pitch was at his ankles and he made it look effortless.  If he stays healthy on this pace, he has a chance someday to break almost every offensive category (HR/Season, HR/Career, RBI, Average).

there both good pitchers..but i would have to say zito but his arm streath seems to wear down more towards the end of the season..plus zito is younger and has more movement on his pitches

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.

Defensively I have to give the nod  to a current player: Ivan Rodriguez.  But offensively Johnny Bench was the best.  For combined talents Yogi was outstanding and IRod is up there.

Saviola is definitely a hottie!! AGUANTE SAVIOLA LOCOOO!! Apart from that, yes, he is an amazing player, but sometimes his cute little but distracts me from the game lol.

As a die-hard Met fan, I was sad to see Glendon Rusch go.  He has spurts of talent.  He has good location, but not the greatest speed on his pitches.  I would much rather have a discipline pitcher like Rusch, over a highly talented but immature player like Daniel Cabrera.
