Cozart and Turner
I ran across this in a 2006 BA chat. They are now Dayton's middle infield combo.
Chat Wrap: Will Kimmey Moderator: Will Kimmey will stop by at 3 p.m. ET to talk about the Baseball America All-American teams and the College World Series. Q: Ryan from Anaheim asks: Why doesn't anyone give credit to players who play good defense, bunt, steal, and do all the little things great. There is more to baseball than hitting HR's and driving in RBI's. A: Will Kimmey: I think seeing Justin Turner and Zack Cozart on this list are examples of us giving that credit. Those two players might be among the nation's best at their postions defensively, and while their raw offensive numbers might not outstrip some others at their positions, they're rewarded for the little things. Defense is important, yes, and that's a factor. But only being great defensively does not an All-American make. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today...ws/261716.html Last edited by Redman15; 07-20-2007 at 02:29 PM. |
