Re: Top 5 MLB Shortstops

I'm surprised that Barry Larkin hasn't been mentioned in more of your Top 5's. As far as Ozzie Smith, I agree he is overated. How many league MVPs did he win? Seems to me Larkin has one under his belt.

Larkin was a terrific fielder, although his last five (injury-filled) seasons he was worse than Jose Offerman out there.

You know...I think I will take Larkin over Ozzie. And I'm a Cards fan.
