Rockland’s best infielders

We’re only two days away from the all-star sections in Friday’s newspaper. I saw the blueprints a couple days ago and the art looks as good as ever. Hopefully everyone picks up a copy so we can discuss it on here.
We’ve looked at Rockland’s pitchers and outfielders and the likely candidates to fill those spots. Time to tackle the last group, the infielders. There’s been a little change this year in that Rockland infielders will not be selected by position. In past years there were top players at all positions. This time I just felt like there was too much overlap at some positions, like catcher, to have to choose between them. So I just picked five guys to fit under the “infielder” umbrella.
Tell me which of these you like.
