What tandem would you rather have on the left side of the infield....

5starbomb · Aug 4, 2007

David Wright/Jose Reyes or Miguel Cabrera/Hanley Ramirez....

JoeFalls · Aug 4, 2007

i'll take the marlin duo.

VIEJODINOSAUR · Aug 4, 2007

I'll take Utley and Rollins....but can't go wrong with the others...

RupertPupkin · Aug 4, 2007

Even with their age and Jeter's declining defense at ss? I would much rather have either the marlin or mets combo especially given their age

themanej2001 · Aug 4, 2007

I'll take the Marlins...

If anyone takes any of the other two for the future then no way you are taking any one for the future...

Hanley and Miggy are cheap and young... so are D Wright and Reyes... So I think they are the only question... I take the Marlins...

VIEJODINOSAUR · Aug 4, 2007

I'm an idiot, just realized shortstop and third base...I will take the Marlins duo...where was Journeyman to correct me?

MrCleo · Aug 4, 2007

Yeah they are going to pay him 30 million a year?

So the Cubs will have a left side of the infield that costs 47 million a year... And the Marlins-Mets will cost about half of that for better players haha

its not coming out of my bank account

and Aramis is better than Wright

Thank you about time Aramis gets some props.

OMG you are not being serious right now...

Wright is 4 years younger and in his first three seasons he will have driven in 100 Runs more then likely and hit more then 25 HR's and hit higher then .300

Aramis only has hit more then 25 HR's 4 times and probably 5 after this year... in 8 years of service... and only driven in 100 runs three times... Probably 4 after this year... And only hit over 300 probably 4 times after this year... He is not as good as Wright... Is he good yes, but he isn't as good as Wright. And there isn't one GM in baseball that would take Aramis over Wright.

Wright steals bases, hits for a higher average, drives in the same amount of runs, hits a lot more doubles and plays a better third base... And he is 4 years younger... You are honestly going to say you would rather have Aramis? That has to be joke.

Joe Crede and Josh Fields are the best!!

Met duo far better than Marlin duo. Do people not even pay attention to defense or what? Mets kill them in that area and both great, albeit in a little different style on offense.

MrCleo · Aug 4, 2007

maybe Wright will be a better player but he isn't better right now

I was eating dinner sorry. :suomi:

I would take the Mets easily.

I would rather have Aramis right now too... I know what hes saying though, if I had to pick right now given their age I would definitely take Wright as hes only 24 years old however Aramis right now is the better player. And his defense has gotten WAY better the past couple seasons and deserves a gold glove. You just have to realize with THEMANEJ that he HATES the Cubs and will never give them any props whatsoever

Wright .305
Aramis .318

Wright 67 rbi
Aramis 68 rbi (70 less ABs)

Wright 26 doubles
Aramis 24 doubles (70 less ABs)

Wright 90 k's
Aramis 45 k's

also a higher slugging pct for Aramis. my selection more for offense and short-term.

maybe a bit biased as I am a cubs fan, but i certainly feel the argument can be made that at this moment Aramis is better
