[QUOTE="dbeverly26, post: 1967115, member: 515868"] Not to be pedantic here but defense is half of the game for a basketball player and much, much less than half of the game for position players in baseball. And regardless, Darwin Barney was pretty much the archetypical average middle infielder, which is kind of what people are clamoring for here for some reason. He's the T. Jon Lucas, Esq. of baseball. Rodgers is more like Jose Hernandez, if you want to go way back. He looked a lot more like a guy who belonged on a corner but could play passably enough up the middle and gave you some stuff that the Darwin Barneys of the world could not in the bargain. [/QUOTE]
