Vizquel's numbers are not bad for a SS, in any other era except this one. Ozzie Smith I don't think hit .250+ but a few times in his stellar career. But A-Rod, Jeter and Garciaparra really changed the whole SS stereotype of being a solid fielder, fast on the bases but no power and little average.
No, granted this season the Tribe doesn't have a lineup of Thome's, Belle's, Alomar's and Lofton's but as a unit the team is very strong offensively, and by next year Blake, Escobar, Martinez, Gerut could all be on the verge of superstardom. The SP I think we'll see a couple superstars from the rotation in the very near future, of course CC, but Stanford, Lee, Davis and Westbrook are not chumps and then Tallet and some others coming up or on the DL. It could be very interesting in Cleveland, very very soon.
And then you have to add the Jake, cause when that place is sold out and the fans are into the game, there is magic in that place and all it'll take to wake the Jake is a nice win streak and run at the division. Both very reachable this year.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
