Who is the alltime greatest shortstop?

Derek Jeter is the All-Time Greatest Shortstop to even play in the MLB. Although Jeter doesn't have the most speed, or the most power, or the best defense, or even the best all-around abilities, he has one advantage few have. He is a winner. Derek Jeter also gives 200% every time out on the field. Jeter would rather leave the field in pieces than to know he didn't give it all he's got. Winning the Rookie of the Year in 1996, Jeter got off to a fast start. Since then, he's earned himself 6 All-Star appearances, 4 World Series victories, the nickname of Mr. November, for his outstanding play in the 2001 World Series, and the title of Yankee captain. And not only is he good on the field, he is also good off of it. Jeter started the Turn 2 Foundation, a charity organization, in 1996.

I would have to say Barry Bonds because he is said to be the greatest hitter of all time but those are hard to get.Also ones like Albert Pujols, Derek Jeter, and others who will be a big part of baseball history years down the line.

George Sisler is my pick\n\nA sharp batting eye and extraordinary fielding ability at first base led Ty Cobb to call George Sisler "the nearest thing to a perfect ballplayer." The owner of an engineering degree, Sisler was one of baseball's most intelligent and graceful players, starring predominantly for the St. Louis Browns. He won two batting titles, hitting over .400 both times, and amassed an astounding total of 257 hits in 1920, a record that stood for 84 years until surpassed by Ichiro Suzuki in 2004. He had a 41-game hitting streak in 1922, hit .300 or better 13 times and had a sizzling .340 lifetime batting average.

Current or of all time? \n\nFor Current -- I'm going with the Rocket (Rodger Clemens). he's older than most players in the league, yet still throws in the upper 90's. last season he entered a game as a pinch hitter in the 14th inning and still threw a shut out. He's unbelievable, plus he has the competitive attitude I like (plus he isn't afraid to throw at batters' heads to back 'em off the plate).

Alex Rodriguez IS THE BEST

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.

None other then the great Albert Pujols
607887
Lou "iron horse" gehrig has the all time most, with 23. Manny Ramirez, an active player, is second on the list.\nDon "donnie baseball" Mattingly hit the most in one season, 6 in 1987
588504
Thwo outfielders with amazing arms are Gary Sheffield and Vladimir Guerrero. They are considered to be two of the strongest throwing outfielders in baseball

Babe Ruth.  Not only was he a great player, and the most famous person and personality in the US when he played, he changed the way the game was played. Prior to him the most famous home run hitter was "Home Run" Baker -- who hit 12 in a season.  Ruth hit 60.\n\nIn addition, he was a very good pitcher when he started, and outrageously good at getting on base.
994992
Ted Simmons with 2472, played from 1968 to 1988.  Mike Piazza leads in all time home runs by a catcher.  \nThe next few on the hitting list are Carlton Fisk, Joe Torre, Yogi Berra, and Gary Carter.

In no particular order!\n\n1.Jose Reyes is the best SS in the game right now\n2 Albert Pujols - the best player in the game right now\n3. Johann Santana - by far the best pitcher in baseball\n4. Ryan Howard - crazy strong and talented hitter\n5. Alex Rodriguez - had incredible numbers in his OFF year\n6. David Ortiz - even though he doesnt play the field he is one of the best today\n7. Carlos Beltran - The best CF in the game in my opinion\n8. Derek Jeter - a proven winner and the likely 2006 AL MVP\n9. Joe Mauer - the best catcher in baseball\n10. Vladimir Guerrero - great hitter, and one helluva arm\n\nhonorable mentions: Chris Carpenter, Roy Halliday Travis Hafner, and Justin Morneau

Would have to say Babe Ruth. Not only did he hit 714 home runs, which stood as the major league record for nearly 40 years, but he was a career  .342 hitter with a .474 on base percentage. If that's not enough, he was also one of the best pitchers the game has ever seen with a 94-46 record a 2.28 career ERA and still holds the record for consecutive scoreless innings pitching in the World Series.

Although I never got to see the All Time Greats, I'd have to say Ted Williams. Stan Musial was great also. Ty Cobb was no slouch either. Adding power you need to add Willie Mays and Babe Ruth.

In the National League, it's Pujols without a doubt.\nIn the American League, and being a Yankee fan I hate to say this, I gotta go with Manny Ramirez.\n\nThey are both lights-out hitters, who continually make even the best pitchers pay dearly for the slightest mistake.

Well let me see if i can narrow it down.For catching it is hands down Jason Varitek,by far the best catcher and captain of ALL time,for pitching I have ALOT,but i think I will give the title to Jonathan Papelbon.He is not only the best closer(besides Foulky and Timlin),but he is the best rookie:)for infield i am really starting to like Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis[poor Youk,he keeps getting hit:(],for outfield i guess i will have to say....Manny Ramirez.don't get me wrong i absolutely LOOOOVE all of the players,but there is just something about Manny:)and last but definitely not least for DH i am going to say Big Papi(and not because he is the only one,but because he is the BEST!!!!!!!!:)
