Uribe is contributing in a huge way this season for the Giants. I don't think anyone expected Uribe to put up these kind of numbers, he's batting .279 with 11 home runs and 43 RBI's. Uribe probably hasn't qualified as a top five shortstop at any point in his career. At the age of 31 here he is finally making it to number three on the list. The big question is will Uribe keep these stats going all year? If he does he is on pace to have the best numbers of his career and can help the Giants possibly make it into the playoffs for the first time since the departure of Barry Bonds. Uribe is second on the team in home runs, one shy of Aubrey Huff, and is leading the team in RBI's. If Uribe comes back down to earth the Giants will fall back down with him. In my opinion I do not see Uribe lasting on the top five list all season long.]]> Only one of the big three shortstops remain, Derek Jeter. Nomar Garciapara retired this year and Alex Rodriguez moved over to third base when he came to the Yankees. Now when people ask who the premier shortstops are? They struggle to get two or three names out. I somehow came up with the top five shortstops of 2010, it was a struggle, but here they are.

3. Juan Uribe, San Francisco Giants: The surprising Giants are in second place in their division, only a game and a half behind the Padres. Uribe is contributing in a huge way this season for the Giants. I don’t think anyone expected Uribe to put up these kind of numbers, he’s batting .279 with 11 home runs and 43 RBI’s. Uribe probably hasn’t qualified as a top five shortstop at any point in his career. At the age of 31 here he is finally making it to number three on the list. The big question is will Uribe keep these stats going all year? If he does he is on pace to have the best numbers of his career and can help the Giants possibly make it into the playoffs for the first time since the departure of Barry Bonds. Uribe is second on the team in home runs, one shy of Aubrey Huff, and is leading the team in RBI’s. If Uribe comes back down to earth the Giants will fall back down with him. In my opinion I do not see Uribe lasting on the top five list all season long.

These developments were directly related to each other Monday as San Francisco thumped the San Diego Padres, 9-4, and remained two games behind National League Wild Card-leading Colorado.


After ending their second trip in a row with a discouraging extra-inning defeat, the Giants enjoyed the restorative powers of AT&T Park, where they have built the NL’s best home record (45-21). Having averaged 3.6 runs per game on the road and 4.4 runs at home entering Labor Day, the Giants received Juan Uribe’s two-homer, five-RBI outburst, amassed 13 hits and looked nothing like the team that mustered 12 runs in six games on its just-completed sojourn.
