No BA???

Yikes....what a list.

No BA???

It's not as good of a poll with Anderson in it.

I always thought Luis Terrero played a damn good CF for us in '07.

 

Darin Erstad is also missing.

Terrero was my boy. I remember he hit 5 HRs very quickly, and then did nothing the rest of the year once he found regular playing time. He was decent in the field from what I recall.

That list makes me wanna puke. I'm not counting Alexi, cause he has barely played CF for us.

To protect capitalism and its interests, I went with Mackowiak.

Erstad was never that bad defensively, I guess the memory of him losing that ball in the lights stuck with a lot of people.

 

I'm surprised that so far people think Mackowiak was better than Swisher out there.

Some of our votes may have had some sarcasm in them.

Yeah I remember Erstad being pretty good out there, he f***ed up more than a few easy plays but overall I suppose he got the job done.

Andy Gonzalez is a Golden God!

I am still wondering when one Jason Gage is going to make a thread about how he thinks Brian Anderson is the best defensive CF in baseball right now.

Actually according to baseball-refence.com Dewayne Wise has been a plus defender throughout his career (including 2008), and Anderson has been about average according to their calculations. Wise's total fielding runs above avg. was 4.0 and Anderson's was -1.8 in 2008. In 5 years in the outfield, anderson is .5 runs above average, while Wise is 9.0 runs above average in his 6 seasons in the outfield. I know everybody's gonna jump all over this, but it's statistical analysis. I think Dewayne Wise is a lot better out there than people give him credit for. I actually voted for Terrero, and got to thinking that Wise really hasn't been that bad. I got curious and checked out the stats, of the ones I checked out, Wise and Erstad were the best according to those numbers. By the way, Swisher is atrocious (-14.8 last year) and Ryan Sweeney is also below average according to this analysis.

For the eye test, Swisher was the tallest midget defensively. I would say Owens would be 2nd, with Mackowiak dead last.

I was at the game where Terrero hit a monster HR underneath the Fundamentals thing against the Rays.

The Jamie Shields game. One of the most "out of nowhere" homers I can remember. Of course the biggest one like that will likely be shown during the Sox highlights tonight with our #9 hitter. Give 'em hell Pods!

I don't remember Terrero enough, so I couldn't vote for him. Lexi still hadn't adjusted yet either.

 

So it was a contest between Griffey (who knows the position well and still has a cannon), and Owens (who aside from the noodle arm is clearly the best among the remaining). I went with Owens.

Despite my annoyance with having to have him start in CF, thinking about watching his WS HR in person still makes me smile.

When he hit it, the first thing I was hoping for was a double. Never did I think he had enough power to get it out at that spot on the field.

I voted for Mack just because it was fun watching him circle the wagon out there....you know....in a dark comedy kinda way.

WHAT!?

 

I'm the only person who picked Griffey?

 

COME ON GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!********************************$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&:):):):)

And the crowd at the game was the same way. Semi-loud cheering, then a half second lull in shock, then out of control yelling.

 

What idiot voted for Griffey?
