Not much to say on this one, it should be an easy win for Jones.

TO;DC

Jones wins by default.

People forget just how good andruw jones was. Plus he is one of the best defensive CFs of all time

He was a good offensive CF to boot too.

I think he should be in the HOF.

Obviously Andruw Jones, but why is O'Rourke listed as a centerfielder?

Because he was listed as an OFer without designating which one. There were couple of soldiers like that, I put them in the OF position that had the least amount.

Old timers not soldiers stupid spellchecker.

Okay I see. I ask because the Baseball Hall of Fame lists his primary position as left field.

 

[navamind]

Jones had the 3rd best fWAR from 97-06, behind only Bonds and A-Rod.

I wish I had known. There were nine or ten that BR listed as Outfielder, and of them there were two or three that didn't break it down when I checked fielding.

Shame how little respect he gets in Atlanta from the fans.

It was his attitude not his talent that pissed fans off
