The guys that could do anything anytime you asked them and do it well. Jose Oquendo has to be my all-time favorite. The Secret Weapon literally played every position at least once.

When it comes to utility players there have been a few good ones some that come to mind are Jerry Royster, Jose Oquendo, Luis Sojo, and Miguel Cairo, but if i had to choose the guy that gives me the most versatility would be Jose "Cheito" Oquendo.

Since your question said "of All-Time", I am going to go back a little further than some of your other answers. I am also going to not include people that were All-Stars at multiple positions (Albert Pujols and Pete Rose come to mind) because they did not regularly play multiple positions in the same year.
I think the ultimate handyman was Cesar Tovar. He regularly started at second base, third base, and the outfield in the same year, starting over 150 games at these positions every year. As a combination 2B, 3B, and OF Cesar Tovar was the only player to get a first place vote other than Triple Crown winner Carl Yastremski in 1967. He was also only the second player to play every position in one game.

excuse me, who said ALBERT PUJOLS is a utility player. Get your head in the game. Jose Vizcaino is a utility player, NOT Pujols. KAY? Now to answer the question, I agree with The Secret Weapon. Played all nine positions Including pitcher. Cant mess with that, can YOU!

Luis Sojo - seems like he could always get a hit when you really needed him too. Plus he could play all over the infield.

I would say Chone Figgins becuase he can play every position except pitcher and catcher. another good choice is rex hudler.

Joe McEwing and Ryan Freel
Joe played everywhere including pitcher and Freel will perform anywhere you put him, he WANTS it.
