Tear this up, agree with it..... whatever you please.

The other positions will be posted in the coming days.

JJ Hardy @ #9??

He had a 4 error game against the Cubs I believe this year.

14. Adam Everett- Houston

Theres only one reason why this guy has a job in the MLB, and I'll give you a hint it's not his bat.

Jhonny Peralta is at the top of the list???? When exactly did Peralta become good defensively? He's been tons better than last year, but still doesnt have near the range or soft hands to be considered near the top of the list, and I love Jhonny.

Toronto's shortstop is more often John McDonald than Royce Clayton.

Bobby Crosby has to be in the top three at least. The top three in the National League could go either way, but mine would be Reyes, Vizquel and Wilson.

Also, how can Furcal be No. 10? He does have some weaknesses in his game, but his arm is the best in either league.

Lol torn to shreads is right....
Everett, Izturis, Furcal, Tulowitzki deserve to be ranked higher

Jhonny and Guillen are ranked too high in the AL

Everett deserves to be higher

Brendan Harris is Tampas shortstop

Oh and Everett should be higher.

I haven't seen him much so I wasn't sure that's why I was put the question mark. I believe you though.

Izturis has a wicked good glove and should be higher IMO - It's just too bad he can't hit.

Indeed, he should be way higher, he is an incredibly good defensive player. If only he could hit

Furcal's arm alone should put him in the top 5. But I haven't watched him much since he left Atlanta, so maybe he isn't as good anymore.

cabrera in the AL, reyes in the NL

Reyes has above average range and an above average arm. However, I don't think he's as good as Tulowitzki, Wilson, Everett, Reyes, Izturis, or even Vizquel for that matter

/\ Bball Jesus, take a look at this rank. I did those rankings and then found this stat....I got 5 of the top 6, only Izturis is dead last. Yikes. My eyes I guess are pretty good.

Defense is the only facet of the game where I will trust my eyes equally as I do statistics, mostly because nearly every defensive metric is somewhat flawed. Not that I won
