I think Edmonds will win this pretty comfortably. His edge in offense is bigger than Andruw's edge in defense. Edmonds was excellent defensively as well.My top 10 players:
1. Babe Ruth
2. Barry Bonds
3. Ty Cobb
4. Ted Williams
5. Willie Mays
6. Alex Rodriguez
7. Hank Aaron
8. Honus Wagner
9. Lou Gehrig
10. Mickey Mantle -
Edmonds offensive advantage is a bit much for Jones to overcome.1885 1886 1926 1931 1934 1942 1944 1946 1964 1967 1982 2006 2011

Edmonds has a reasonable argument as one of the 10 best CFers in ML history. It's not certain, but he's got a legitimate argument. Jones, to me, is a small step below. An amazing flychaser/flycatcher the first half of his career, lots of power, but so-so on base skills. I give the edge to Edmonds.Comment

Edmonds, though the knock on him is his health.Chop! Chop! Chop!Comment

It's a very interesting comparison. They are about even, but Andruw's excellence is concentrated in his defense and Edmunds's is spread out. If my corner outfielders were Ralph Kiner and Rocky Colavito, I'd take Andruw. If they were Ricky Henderson and Dwight Evans, then maybe Edmunds. I always have a bias for the all-rounder.Indeed the first step toward finding out is to acknowledge you do not satisfactorily know already; so that no blight can so surely arrest all intellectual growth as the blight of cocksureness.--CS PeirceComment

Pretty good matchup but I went with Edmonds, just a better all around player."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack
"I have the ultimate respect for Whitesox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Redsox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country."--Jim Caple, ESPN (Jan. 12, 2011)Comment
