A shortstop is a strong player who comes in and sizes up the guys first...shoots them usually cheap and gets a good line on who he wants the roadie to play against. Usually not even a state champion...just someone that can run a few balls consistantly and willing to do dump a few bucks in the players pocket before the roadie cleans them out.

Hi,
Keep posting.I like those Avatars.He,he,he,he,he,he,he :D
 
I recall asking this question on the forum once. Based on the answers then and conversations with players since, I've come to the conclusion that a shortstop is a player good enough to get the cash pretty consoistently at home but not good enough to succeed at mixing it up with the pros or the good road players. I would think most shortstops would qualify as A+ level players.

That's a good definition of a decoy, but not a shortstop.

I have heard the very same. as a strong player who is just a couple notches below the top notch players.

A good local player who usually can't get by the better to top players. They seem to have the tools but may be part time players who have have jobs or just not really dedicated players. It's not really an insult but describes that type of player. They have also been known to move to player status if they become so inclined. When a road player is told a guy is a short stop, it means you will win but will have to work for it, the guy isn't a pushover or a dog, just a little weaker player who you should be able to beat but will have to play hard to do it.

He changed the avitar...The other one was hypnotic.....Kind of like watching a WWE Divas match...You keep waiting for something to pop out... :D :D
 
I kind of always thought a road player was a road player.

I thought a shortstop was a home town guy that did not travel, but if a road player came to town and plays the shortstop. He either loses all his bank roll, or kills all his action, or both..........thus a "short stop".....

So...basically like Mark Tadd said...at "State" Champion, but not a Pro.
