Best CF Defensively

Lot of great CF in the league during this time. Which guy is the best defensively? Take into account their arm, their speed, their ability to read the ball off the bat, fearlessness going to the wall, and their propensity for the "web gem."

Not me but he is probably the second smoothest CF behind A. Jones. Make fielding the position appear to be very easy.

Torii Hunter shouldn't be on that list anymore.

Neither should Rowand.

Jones has the best range on that list and is probably the best defensive CF I've seen since Yount retired. I also think that Brian Anderson(although he can't hit) will be mentioned among the best in the future.

Andrew Jones....
Griffey. Jr. was awesome too... plays RF now.

1. Ichiro Suzuki
2. Carlos Beltran
3. Brian Anderson

Willy Taveras easily. Really, really easily. Brian Anderson is second probably, but he's not a starter.

Jacoby Ellsbury is on par with Taveras.

I gotta say Andru Jones. He makes the game look so easy. He makes the spectacular catches look like nothing. He is that good.

No. Willy Taveras is amazing. Watch him sometime.

Who watches anymore? It's all about baseball musings.

That's just one system, bozo.

Post #16 » by **TyCobb** » Fri Apr 6, 2007 4:20 am

The best system available. Better than your eye system.

Prove it, big shot.

What about THT's system? Or Baseball Prospectus? The Fielding Bible? Et cetera.

Andruw Jones. Hate the Ichiro move to CF.

You're in a slump. You're the one who showed me this website.

Yeah, I know. But they aren't foolproof by any means. And just using one is the height of stupidity as they all seemingly have flaws.

Who is the best CF defensively?
