Matt Holliday
Francoeur has the strongest arm though"I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can." - Babe Ruth -
Everything included, (offense, defense, age), I'd lean toward taking Sizemore.
Right now, when at his best, Beltran is probably the best player of the bunch.
Matt Holliday is a best, true. Ditto Vlad, etc.
But Sizemore and Beltran are Gold Glove caliber CFs, with major plus speed.Last edited by digglahhh; 04-04-2008, 08:40 AM.THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT COME WITH A SCORECARD

let's get some more discussion about this"I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can." - Babe RuthComment

Is the question who is the best player who plays in the outfield, or who is the best outfielder just based on defence in the outfield?
Cause id give different answers to each.
Id say Holliday is the best outfielder, not sure about best in the outfield. Ranking players defensively is a bit of a grey area for me.

Sizemore at the moment. Rios should top the list in a few years.Comment

I guess a definition of "best outfielder" wouldn't hurt.Buck O'Neil: The Monarch of BaseballComment

If the power develops (I still think it will) Carl Crawford will be the best OFer in the game.Comment

Let's try comparing players without names.
Player A (age 34):
122 OPS+, 6 HR, 37 SB, 115 RF+ (RFg/lgRFg)
Player B (age 24):
121 OPS+, 23 HR, 18 SB, 111 RF+
Player C (age 34):
167 OPS+, 28 HR, 4 SB, 105 RF+Comment

I'll take... Player C for now. Let's see if Player B can get his OPS+ up.Originally posted by Erik Bedard View Post

Let's just say that your opinion is not very popular. In fact, the two players you picked (Ordonez and Markakis) have exactly zero votes combined. The other one has more than zero. He has six right now, and is leading the poll.
Those three guys were not meant to be a comprehensive listing of all the players, just the leader and two guys with no votes.Comment

Can we please use a REAL measure of fielding other than range factor? Thanks.
Based on 2007 numbers, I'd go with Granderson. Based on 2008 expectations, I'll go with Beltran. Great hitter, plays center field, and plays great defense.Comment
