salsadancer,
Timm's comment was directed at Me, I bashed Soriano pretty badly because they call him an all-star, but an all-star in my book plays defense as well as hit.
I really get annoyed when a guy plays great D and never gets an all-star vote because he doesn't hit 40 HR's a year.
Alan Trammel was an all star, outstanding D and .280 average approx. but he got over shadowed by Ripken... Strange how you can play 2 or 3 left fielders in the all star game, but only one Shortstop.
Tram should be in the HOF along with Jack Morris and maybe a few others fromthe '84 team, but it seems they were overshadowed and thier accomplishment will never be honored in the hall.
Jack should have been in a LONG long time ago.
