Fact.Steve Balboni 181 home runs, Keith Hernandez 162 home runs.
Personally I already see it as a great achievement. I may be alone but I still view shortstop as a defense first position. If 45 years ago, knowing what everyone knew after their careers were over I had been given the choice of either Cal Ripkin or Ozzie Smith I would have taken Ozzie.I "claim" nothing. I stated a numerical fact and an individual achievement by Lindor.
I'm not sure how many times I can try to keep you all from pulling this back to team achievement.
Let me ask you and others. Would you not think it's a great achievement if Lindor stays on track and becomes the all time HR leader at the SS position? In 150+ years of the sport?
Yeah. I don’t really agree with that but you’re entitled to your opinion. He’s a five tool player and always has been. And the stats show he’s an elite defender but if you don’t follow him you may not see that.Lindor is a very good shortstop and his offense (especially having some pop) is a bonus. If to date he never had a season with double digit home runs but was a .300 hitter he still would have added far more than needed offensively as he can handle the position at a quality level in the field.
Nah. The Keith/Mattingly argument is more even and interesting.Nice stat.
I love a good trolling, but God, Deep. The Captain? He should be off-limits.
Next up: Alonso > Mattingly?
I never said Lindor was better because he has more HRs. Simply pointed out a milestone on the way to maybe being the all time SS HR leader.Oh yeah more homers hell he must be better. Long way to go to get to .310, 1900 plus runs and lots of hits still so maybe pump the brakes. And they both batted 1-2 more than anywhere else in the lineup. Does Lindor have better power, hell yeah. Is he a little better in field, maybe. Ends there though I’m afraid and I like Lindor take him in a second.

Whining that Soto wishes he was still a Yankee. Getting bent because Lindor has more HRs than Jeter. What happened to Yankee fans? Did the Sox take your heart out coming back from 3-1?
Sorry. They came back from 3-0.I didn’t whine once about Soto could care less and I could care less about how many HRs Lindor has in compared to Jeter. I’m happy for the dude he’s a good guy actually even like the Mets in the NL. Just have been bombarded by Mets fans about Lindor being a better player so reaction warranted. Might not have been your intent but oh well.
Sox from 3-1? When was that?
ExactlySorry. They came back from 3-0.
Oh. That’s what this is about. Your feelings were hurt in the Soto thread.Whining that Soto wishes he was still a Yankee.
Why would my feelings be hurt? We have him.Oh. That’s what this is about. Your feelings were hurt in the Soto thread.
You didn’t like that some posters questioned the long term viability of the signing. And that threre are rumblings about him not being happy…so you posted Lindor stats to rile up Yankee fans and troll those posters.Why would my feelings be hurt? We have him.
I don’t care what they think. We got him. You don’t. For a long time.You didn’t like that some posters questioned the long term viability of the signing. And that threre are rumblings about him not being happy…so you posted Lindor stats to rile up Yankee fans and troll those posters.
You know that the idea that you posted this stat just because it’s interesting is laughable.
And we have Judge who actually hustles and can play defense. I will take our big dog over Soto everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.I don’t care what they think. We got him. You don’t. For a long time.
If I recall, didn’t Judge have a pretty big drop on an easy fly ball in the playoffs? Asking for a friend.And we have Judge who actually hustles and can play defense. I will take our big dog over Soto everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

There’s no discussion.Sometimes I forget that you enjoy trolling more than an actual discussion.
At least you did not try to use rings to try and make this argument. I think, Soto was just seen jogging to first trying to stretch a double into a single………If I recall, didn’t Judge have a pretty big drop on an easy fly ball in the playoffs? Asking for a friend.
Not sure why you all bring Judge and Soto into a thread on HRs by a SS but you do you.At least you did not try to use rings to try and make this argument. I think, Soto was just seen jogging to first trying to stretch a double into a single………
You brought up Eddie Murray is post #9, moving the goal posts I see. In fact you were the first one to say something OT in this thread.Not sure why you all bring Judge and Soto into a thread on HRs by a SS but you do you.
Should give him a statue already and just keep changing the hr numbers on the plaque.Fair point.
And while we’re at it. The total now stands at Lindor 262, Jeter 260.
I’m good if they wait until he breaks the all time mark. But I wouldn’t argue if they went your route.Should give him a statue already and just keep changing the hr numbers on the plaque.
I don’t think Jeter will catch him.Fair point.
And while we’re at it. The total now stands at Lindor 262, Jeter 260.
LOL. I’m not sure the Yankee fans in this thread would agree with you.I don’t think Jeter will catch him.
I could be wrong but I believe Shaky is a Mets fan.I don’t care what they think. We got him. You don’t. For a long time.
I am a Yankees fan…which I know is odd since I am a Jets fan. I one of the few Fairfield County fans with that combo.I
