Jim Sundberg was known for his defensive skills.  So much so, that is how we wound up on this list.

9. Jim Sundberg

Arguably the best defensive Catcher of the late 1970’s, Jim Sundberg rattled off six consecutive Gold Gloves (1976-81) and would lead the American League seven times for Total Zone Runs from the Catcher position.  He was not an elite hitter, but still had over 1,000 Hits for the Rangers.  The Rangers enshrined Sundberg into their Hall of Fame in 2003.
