I cringe when JJ Hardy is on second base and there is a single... Might as well just tell the runners to go station to station when anybody gets on base.  

JJ scored from 2nd on a single yesterday.

For a player who seems very well coordinated at SS and how is probably a great athlete, Hardy is surprisingly slow and always looks like he's hurt when he's running.   He does manager to surprise me most of the time by scoring or getting in safely.

Roch even made a joke about it. JJ scored still looking his normal slow self or something like that.

Rooks Robinson was not a fast runner.

Who was faster, Brooks or Cal Jr?

Rickard is pretty fun to watch, WAR or no WAR.

Exactly and Roch gave him crap for it as well saying he was still slow!

I'll take his D and the occasional HR, as long as we can keep him. I hope he makes his option.

I think Brooks but I really don't remember. Man Cal was REALLY slow!

Cal holds the ML record for GIDP.

Brooks is at 11th and had over 1K fewer PA.

I hadn't realized how close Pujols is to getting the top spot.  He is only 14 behind Cal and in only 16 seasons.  He plays 20 years he might end up with an unbreakable record.  He should break 400.

[Number5]

IIRC, Brooks holds the record for the most GITP.
