All-time Great 2nd baseman

This should be a little better to debate than 1B. As always if you think someone should be listed that isn't let it be known.

Very tough... Probably Hornsby or Robinson, at first glance...

I voted for Morgan. 2nd is very interesting because I could see a case for Robinson, Morgan, Hornsby, Lajoie or Collins.

Are we talking in terms of "career value" or "peak value"?

In terms of "peak value", it's Joe Morgan. In terms of career value I'd pick Eddie Collins.

Rogers Hornsby was very much overrated. He was an awesome hitter but he sucked on defense. Also, he kept getting traded because no one could stand him and he did more things to make it harder for his teams to win.

Career value. Anyone can put up one good season. Brady Anderson hit 50 HR one year.

Actually "peak value' is not a player's best season but a clearly established level of peak performance. A good way to look at it is to look at a player's 2nd-5th best seasons.

I went with Hornsby. He owns many 2B records.

And how does this prove he is the greatest 2B of all time?

That still is only 4 seasons. I don't have a set rule but I think that career value and peak value should be taken into account.
