baseman

He is one of only three third basemen in franchise history to earn at least three all-star nods, joining Ron Santo (nine times, 1963-66, 1968-69, 1971-73) and Stan Hack (four times, 1938-39, 1941, 1943).

While the big names like Bryce Harper and Manny Machado still might not sign for a while, the market for second basemen in 2019 MLB free agency is taking shape.

The losses of Shawn Pinney (.412) and catcher Ben Wright (.303) to graduation will attempted to be made up by first basemen Sharp (.352, 2 home runs) and Kevin Costello (.400), center fielder Tyler McDonald, and shortstop/pitcher Logan Kuzmitch.

Chicago, IL, April 02, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Dusty Showers, President and Founder of The 2nd Basemen, is planning a cross-country bicycle trip in the hopes of raising funds for breast cancer.

Among other arguments, James posited that Santo's offensive and defensive statistics outshone a number of already-inducted third basemen, specifically, and ballplayers in general.

For the first time since 2007, no second basemen were selected in the first round, and there were no first basemen selected in the opening round for the third time in four years, with the lone exception coming last year.

The Padres picked 10 college pitchers, three outfielders, two shortstops, two first basemen, one catcher and one third baseman.

Positions on defense were aligned on an invisible spectrum, with the more challenging middle-infield spots on the left (where offense wasn't so important), first basemen and designated hitters on the right.

Hodges led all first basemen of the 1950s in the following categories: HR (310), G (1,477), AB (5,313), R (890), H (1,491), RBI (1,001), TB (2,733) and XBH (585).

We believe it eliminates confusion that may arise from balls on which both the first and third basemen think of themselves as the cutoff man.
