Shortstop: .308/.382/.581 345 homers, 990 RBI, 1,009 runs, 177 stolen bases, 144 OPS+, 1 MVP award

3rd base: .293/.388/.542 299 homers, 947 RBI, 869 runs, 139 stolen bases, 142 OPS+, 2 MVP awards + world series ring

Although his best seasons offensively came when he was a 3B, his offensive numbers overall at SS are easily more impressive.

Yeah I would rather have Rodriguez during his shortstop years. Better speed and defense.

You have a man-crush on A-Rod.

Let's be fair. He played shortstop when he was younger, so he would have been quicker and had more range. He also may have had ... extra help at some points. But it's of some significance that he made a position change at that stage of his career, and it wasn't necessarily to an easier position (as in, say, Ernie Banks moving from SS to 1B).
