I don't hate BP....but I don't like how ridiculously often he swings for the fences, his base running is unnecessarily below average.....what I hate is Thom blowing out my tv speakers when he makes a very good play that many other 2B make.....BP does have the great highlight plays that few other could make. People act like he is the only great fielding 2nd baseman (he and Cano by far have the most flair and style)...but for the most part every starting 2nd baseman is a darn good defensive player.
I'm not a hot dog fan between the lines....sorry. I do appreciate his HOF talent, but he'll never do enough to make it.
He is one of the best defensive 2nd baseman I have ever seen....but Alomar takes it for me.
This post is right on the money. What interests me the most about BP is his constant creative mind in thinking of ways to trick the opposition for his team's benefit. Sometimes it blows up in his face, and sometimes it works, but it seems he's always thinking of an angle.
