I was able to see a lot of cleveland games and Omar Vizquel has been my favorite.. Detroit is finally building a team again, so I wont be watching much of cleveland anymore with Vizquel in San Fran
The way Omar can barehand a high hopper and throw to first in one motion is amazing to me... and although I think its a little bit of showboating, but when he turns his back to the infield to catch a pop fly, that takes skill.

I love pitching guys...which is the primary defense in baseball. First guy I would say is Greg Maddux. I've always loved watching this guy work. Absolutely amazing.
As far as defensive players behind the pitcher..I'll throw out a couple names....
Andruw Jones
Jim Edmonds
Khalil Greene
Derek Lee
Vlad
Omar, and Roberto
Izturis and Cora

actually after watching pokey reese on a regular basis really turned me on to defense. in 04 I really learned how important defense is on the diamond.
pokey just gobbled stuff up I never thought possible he showed me the way on the "basket catch" and seeing minky stretch out for grabs to make outs on poorly thrown balls it made me appreciate it so much more it really enhanced my enthusiasm for the game of baseball. I never realized how much of a liability nomar was until I saw superior players on defense like pokey and cabrera.
guys that save runs are every bit as important as guys who produce runs
