I'm pretty happy with the play of Alex Gonzalez. He is a gift from the Heavens compared to the butchers the Sox employed earlier this year.

I'd take Jeter over all of them myself.

Furcal was awesome when he came out to LA, but he hasn't been the same player since his back injury...From time to time he still pulls off some amazing plays at SS. Wish he could find some of his offense back...at least for the playoffs.
