It looks like a lot of you had fun with the Monsters firstbasemen poll. Now get ready for some weak hitting middle infielders as we head into the second basemen and shortstops. We’ll start with the Terribles’ secondbasemen (more info here on the TCT-MCM project).
It’s an interesting field with one representative from the 60s, 70s, 80s and the 90s each. There’s also a Hall of Famer in this poll who was later a teammate of Johnny Bench who already won the poll for the Terribles catcher.
The other three are sorely lacking in on-base skills. Each of them have just one 14 each. At least they have a power number.
Each player’s name is linked to his original Monster Card Monday article written about him and his APBA card associated with it.

By the way, the Terribles first base poll has concluded. Here are the results:
As I expected, 2011 Adam Dunn ran away with it. He outpolled the other two combined.
There’s still a couple days to vote for the Monsters firstbaseman if you haven’t already!
thanks all!
a whopping 4-14s or not….2B-5 and a 7-7 take it for me.
