Following up the throdown for best OF so far.

The best infield so far belongs to the Chicago Cubs.
***THIS DOES INCLUDE CATCHER****

C- Geovany Soto. He is currently tied for all C in rbi's with 36. He's tied for 2nd in HR's with 9.
He's 2nd in 2B.
He's 3rd in OBP, 2nd in SLG, and 1st in OPS.
He's been one of the most fielding catchers in the league.
He has been a top 3 catcher all year long.

1B- Derek Lee
294 AVG, 12 HR, 36 RBI, 41 R.
He's been solid across the board. He's tied for 2nd in 2B with 16 of all 1B.
Lee is 3rd for 1B in hits with 65.

2B- Mark DeRosa
308 AVG, 4 HR, 26 RBI, 32 R.
Again, solid numbers. He's boasted nice numbers especially in runs and RBI's despite not getting full playing time. His 308 AVG is 2nd for all 2B and he is 5th in runs. He has been quietly productive.

SS- Ryan Theriot
311 AVG, 9 SB, 34 R, While he doesn't have great power numbers, he makes up for it with avg and speed. He's 2nd for SS in AVG, 5th in R, and 3rd in SB.

3B- Aramis Ramirez
302 AVG, 9 HR, 37 RBI, 37 R.
2nd out of 3B in OBP, 3rd in SLG, 2nd in OPS.
1st out of 3B in RBI-not counting braun. Tied for 3rd in HR. 2nd in R. One of the top 3B in the league.

I think Soto has the advantage. He beats McCann in HR, OBP, OPS. McCann does win in R, AVG, 2B (by one) and SLG. But he also has more AB's than Soto. Defensively, Soto has been much better. He has a better ratio than McCann throwing out runners. While their stats are almost identical, Soto has a slight advantage because of his better catching abilities than McCann.

1B- I think i win there at the moment.

3B- I'll give you the advantage but Ramirez may be the 2nd best 3B so far.

2B

DeRosa beats Johnson in AVG, OBP, OPS, RBI, R, H, 2B, and SB %. 3/3.
Johnson wins HR and SLG. I think it's clear that DeRosa has an advantage here.

SS- I'll give you the advantage although once again its pretty close. Theriot wins SB, AVG, and H, But his lack of power numbers bring him down.

Let's go to the bench!
Ronny Cedeno- 321 AVG, 1 HR, 19 RBI, 17 R.
Mark Fontenot- 250 AVG, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 12 R.

Atlanta's bench
Omar Infante- 261, 0 HR, 4 R, 4 RBI
Ruben Gotay- 258, 0 HR, 1 RBI, 3 R

I have the clear advantage for the bench.
I have the advantage in 1B and 2B.
You have the advantage in SS and 3B.
Will argue more on the two catchers..
