Good post badjam. I forgot about jeter. You are right on- Vaughan,Yount and Wells. Ripken is also a good call. I don't like ozzie smith or vazquel in this setting.

Looks like you listed Boudreau and Banks twice. Boudreau would land around eighth best in my opinion.

Jam,

I am new to ATGII, so you would know better than I do. So, if you say boudreau would land about 8th, I'll go with that.

Not in any order. Just the top 12.
1. Larkin
2. E Banks
3. Honus Wagner
4. A-rod
5. Arky
6. Jeter
7. Ripken
8.
9. Boudreau
10. Yount
11. Wells
12.

I corrected the duplicates. Who else makes the list? Petrocelli with a .400 OB and 40 HR?

Yes Petrocelli with his 40+ hrs and .400 obp makes any list of top ss, at any cap, because all the caps from 60m - 200m play exactly the same....Remember the card is the card just like 25 years ago and this online game plays exactly as the board game you remember from your youth did...You've already got all your answers Jedi....Please don't allow BadJam or any other much more experienced players tell you any different. ;) :mrgreen: ;)

I think you gotta take a close look at Jimmy Rollins. Similar to Larkin (and you're a Cincy guy) Rollins hit 30 hrs and stole over 40 bases, 41 to be exact, while batting almost .300...Add his awesome D at this key position, and a switch hitter too! Plus he's bulletproof....That's right cannot be injured! I like him...any cap, any park.

I had not considered rollins because his OBP is on low. But I'll take a look and add him. I appreciate the post. Everyone has helped a lot.

mondreyes, your list of top X # of SS's is dependent on the type of team you build AND the ballpark you choose.

Trust me.
