    Yoggi was pretty good. I think he had like 3 MVPs. Not many players at any position has more than one.

    Bench, period. Yadi has gotten better at the plate every year but still has a way to go. If he can get his play at the plate as good as his play behind the plate and sustain it, the discussion will be between him and Bench. Right now I'd say Bench then Pudge. I will say this about Yadi, he calls a game better than anyone I've seen and he aids young pitchers the same
