First world I checked.  He has 4 of the top 5 in Mantle at 2B:

Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Erik Langston

I'm sure his minus plays were inflated, but that guy would make a crappy 2B even if right-handed.

Yeah, this guy's a better example - ratings-wise, he'd have been an excellent 2B, except he's LH, and so, you get this...

Now I'll drop it.  I obviously was mistaken.

And, with that, the age old question of "Is it Big AL or Bi-gal?" has been answered.

I'm glad it took 10+ years to get that taken care of.

I can't believe that Iglesias has a career OPS of .727 and has hit over .290 twice.  Heck, he even hit 19 and 22 homers with 54 Power.  No pitchers in that league, I would imagine. 

But then, Valdez hit no worse that .298 5 years in a row.  He ain't that good.

And you would think that the 68 minus plays in 421 games would clue someone that playing LH throwing 2B guys is a pretty cruddy idea.

To each his own.

I won a WS with a LH 2B.
