1. Babe Ruth
2. Barry Bonds
3. Ty Cobb
4. Ted Williams
5. Willie Mays
6. Alex Rodriguez
7. Hank Aaron
8. Honus Wagner

Guess I should research before I speak. Hamilton has a career -1.3 dWAR, with -1.2 of that coming in 2012. So I guess hes not as good as I thought. But there are worse fielders out there for sure.Originally posted by ipitch View Post
I should note: im not real well versed in defensive metrics. I just chose dWAR because I recognize it.Comment

On the plus side, it may lengthen the kids career. He banged off the wall twice in one game at Coors Field. He went 0 fer 2 on the catches, but gained a life long fan.<mesigpic

i had figured when they had signed hamilton, that he would play left to help prevent injury...so does this mean too that trumbo will be the dh with morales gone?Comment

Shouldn't affect his WAR that much. His positional adjustment will go down, but his defense compared to the average left fielder will be greater than his defense compared to the average center fielder. It should balance out.Originally posted by Honus Wagner Rules View PostThere goes Mike Trout's future super high WAR totals.

The thing to look at though is with 3 above average fielders there will be less opportunities for any of them to make great plays - which could lessen their defensive WAR even if they are playing excellent defense.Comment

That was playing mostly in CF. Hamilton's a career -10 UZR/150 in CF but a +8.5 in LF.Originally posted by Zoltan View Post
He's likely a below average CF but slightly above average corner OFerComment
