And Joe said, "I would sit down with my coffee, I'd go through everything," and then he'd send his group text to the team.

Jimmy Rollins, Nomar Garcia-Para, Dustin Pedroia, Ben Zobrist, That's why I said borderline.

Andrew ClaudioHOST
And if you wanted to look at his peak as, like, won a World Series, a bunch of gold gloves, top three MVP finishes, you could.

And Anthony Rizzo with the Platinum Glove at first base, uh, that is not the case with Michael Busch, but, uh, did a nice job.
Danny RockettHOST
Second base, you know, I mean, I guess you compare, uh, who was the second baseman on the Cubs? Is it Ben Zobrist? I don't know.
Danny RockettHOST
'Cause they, they changed it out a little bit here and there.
Danny RockettHOST
Um, I think Javy played over there a little bit, especially when Addison Russell had the job.
JakeHOST
This guy has been the number one.
JakeHOST
If they gave a Zobrist of the Year award, I think it's this guy.
JakeHOST
It's Ezekiel Duran, Zeke Duran, the Texas Rangers who are somehow in first place in the AL West with Seager missing time, Lankford missing time, their rotation missing time.
JakeHOST
Zeke Duran has been in the guy.
