The stories of his demise have been greatly exaggerated. Leads the league in no categories, but in the top 5 of 7 of them. Still the top defensive 3^rd baseman in the league.

While not quite back into MVP form, he is solid at the plate and improving in the field.

#9 Greg Lynas                          .586          0 HR        25 RBI

Not lighting the world on fire at the plate, though still has a respectable Avg and RBI total and can play solid defense anywhere on the field.

Having a steady season at the plate. His decreased role on the defensive side may have contributed to that, but drops him a spot or two in the rankings.
