Top 10 Best MLB Shortstops of 2006

The Top Ten
Derek Jeter (New York Yankees) Derek Sanderson Jeter is an American former professional baseball shortstop, current businessman and baseball executive who is the chief executive officer and part owner of the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball.

Derek Jeter is straight clutch. No one even compares. Captain on the dynasty team. What else is there to say?

Jeter is the best shortstop because he knows where and when to be there. He has on-field awareness.

Even though I hate his guts, he is the best shortstop when it comes to defense.

Jose Reyes (New York Mets)

Jose Reyes has a speedy throw.

He has speedy legs, which help him make plays.

He also has great contact.

Jose Reyes is one of the best players right now. He is very fast, and oh so lovable.

Only like 20-something years old, and he leads the MLB in stolen bases and triples.

Omar Vizquel (San Francisco Giants)

Omar and Adam Everett should be at the top of this list. Jeter doesn't even belong on the ballot.

National League Gold Glove winner two years in a row. Not to mention, he's in his 40s, which makes him that much more of a badass.

Jimmy Rollins (Philadelphia Phillies)

He has very good speed and has some power.

David Eckstein (St. Louis Cardinals)

One of the best work ethics in baseball today. An absolute overachiever.

Great range, good leadership, fast hands.

Miguel Tejada (Baltimore Orioles)

Power, speed, and defense - he has all of them. Derek Jeter is a bad defensive shortstop.

Miguel Tejada is the best! Why 7% instead of 50%?

Adam Everett (Houston Astros)
Michael Young (Texas Rangers)

I think Michael should be number one because he is the best in the league. Just look at the stats.

Plus, I'm from Texas, so yeah.

Rafael Furcal (Los Angeles Dodgers)
Edgar Renteria (Atlanta Braves)

Number one! Great personality, comes to play every day, very good hitter, and good defense. You can't ask for any more.

The Contenders
Carlos Guillen (Detroit Tigers)

He is the love of my life. How the hell did he not make the top 10? He's amazing!
