Here's Jhonny worst?? Not even close. He's easily top 15 in the game without question. c'mon Mr Cleveland you can't be falling for the Peralta bad defense hype perpetrated by everyone...You should be able to see through that easily. Great?? no...but very competent. His range limitations have been greatly exaggereated for years. HE gets to plenty of balls. the stats bear this out.

Gosh sir...maybe it's a matter of perception.



I see a very slow guy who just doesn't have range...great arm...but no range ...and sloooow. If They don't move him and put Cabrera at short ..then I give up. Cabrera is the next Vizquel.Frankly I think Cabrera should be at short now....and I'D sit Peralta......I really would ...at the very least when Carmona and Westbrooks are pitching.



Don't forget all of Here's Jhonny Boneheads base running blunders.



I mean how do you get picked off first with the bases loaded!!?

Hot Dog Don aka "Lugo for 4" and Jhonny would have to battle it out for that title. What do you think the over/under on combined hits or errors are for them this ALCS?

I admit to only following the Indians...so I don't know this guy,but with Peralta being one of any 2 ss's in a series......I think that's a great over considering errors...and mental mistakes ( bonehead type)....as getting picked off first with the bases loaded.

Any top ten hitter list that does not have Chase Utley on it can not be taken seriously. Ryan Howard is NOT in the top ten as his bat has a major hole in it. Pujols, Ichiro, and Cabrera should be in the top 5 of everyone who watches baseball lists. Manny doesnt crack the top 8 either, hasnt for the past few years.
My list reads as follows
1. Pujols
2. Ichiro
3. A Rod
4. Utley
5. Cabrera
6. Holliday
7. D Wright
8. Ortiz
9. Guerrero (regular season only lol)
10. H Ramirez
