He's fun to watch. Even in his prime, he was not nearly as smooth as Ozzie Smith at shortstop, but maybe the closest thing since Ray Oyler.

Anybody remember Ray Oyler? He couldn't hit, but man was he ever a vacuum cleaner at shortstop!

I used to be irritated by Jeter's ego. But that was before A-Rod knocked him off the annoying oversized ego list.

LOL.

We Baltimoreans know a thing or 2 about shortstops who can’t hit: Mark Belanger AKA the Blade.

I remember Ray Oyler. He was such a poor hitter the Tigers moved Mickey Stanley from centerfield to shortstop for the 1968 World Series

Ray Oyler was typical of shortstops in that era. Their glove was more important than their bat. As a Phillies fan, we had Terry Harmon and Bobby Wine, who were lousy hitters. In the 80s we had Steve Jeltz, who took lousy hitting to a whole new level.
