January 14, 201016 yr Where is Geronimo in centerfield? Cannon for an arm. Not quite as prodigious (sorry, it's the Word of the Day on my calendar ) with the stick . . . .

January 14, 201016 yr True, but dude patrolled. A pleasure to watch. I distinctly remember one play in which the batter hits a fly to Geronimo in medium CF with a guy on 3B. 3B runner bluffs taking off to the plate, as he should, just to see if he can draw a throw that is off line and gets away from catcher. Geronimo, however, fires a 6 foot high laser dart to third and catches the guy still standing in disbelief 1/3 of the way down the baseline.
January 15, 201016 yr The toughest call for me is at SS. I think the difference between Larkin's and Concepcion's hitting is greater (and more valuable) than the difference between their fielding. Unless, of course, you were referring the Woody Woodward.
January 15, 201016 yr I went to the link. Doggie at 3B? Come on. Almost as bad as the pitching staff they put together. How many modern day fans recognize those names?
