Apparently Desmond and Tulo were.

Laughable.

I could see Machado, but neither of them are on Simba's level.
 
From the brief times I have seen Machado I have been impressed. Don't see him enough to say for sure he is on Simmons level. The numbers are kind to him for sure.

Nobody as the SS position though is on Simmons level.
 
That's inane, but probably a reflection of Simmons' limited time in the major-leagues relative to Tulowitzki and Desmond.
 
This must have been the voting panel.

We need a link. National media types who follow Boston and New York and occasionally look at other teams could vote for Tulo if they hadn't seen Simba enough, but nobody who has ever watched a baseball game would judge Desmond over Simmons. Hell, Desmond was awful his first several years.
 
Yeah...I would say it's more based on the amount of time Simmons has been in MLB. Most managers haven't seen him but 6 or 7 times. Probably should still be enough, but maybe they think it's a fluke because they don't see him everyday.

It was actually best tools on defense.

They said Desmond had a better arm than Simmons...

Simmons might not be as proven but he will pretty much win the NL Gold Glove provided health. He's on another level from everyone else.

I think Desmond is much improved on defense but better than Simmons, he is not, no one is.
 
I dont think Simmons hits enough to get enough credit proper credit for his defense. I didnt see enough of Ozzie to compare him to Simmons but Simmons is the best I have ever seen.
 
Fredi must've changed his vote after the Uggla play. Only way Desmond makes it.

High praise being Ozzie was the greatest defensive player to grace this earth. Don't think I would go that far.

There isn't a play I haven't seen Simba make yet.

Ozzie could do back flips and cartwheels, but Simba makes it the most efficient, yet most deadliest.
 
My only complaint about Simmons is when he lollipops throws to first. He's thrown more than a few in the dirt that Freddie's had to scoop because of this.
