Greatest defensive outfield of all time?
That were all on the same team at the same time. Just curious. What's yours?

Re: Greatest defensive outfield of all time?
In recent memory, Michael Saunders, Franklin Gutierrez, and Ichiro come to mind.
Re: Greatest defensive outfield of all time?
The Mariners one came to mind for me as well. The Twins and Braves both had some really good OFs around 2000 and the Mets have had some recently. The Rays OF in 2009 was pretty ridiculous too
Re: Greatest defensive outfield of all time?
when I was growing up the trio of Andre Dawson, Ellis Valentine, and Warren Cromartie had the potential to be the best OF of all-time...didn't exactly work out but they weren't bad
Re: Greatest defensive outfield of all time?
To your inferred point, Rf, if the Reds played Heisey everyday in left, that would be the best defensive OF in baseball.

The Red Sox Outfield in the mid 70's of Dwight Evans, Fred Lynn and Yaz was pretty good.

Yeah, twice, I believe. Once by Dave Miley, and once by Jerry Narron. Both games were wins.

McReynolds
Re: Greatest defensive outfield of all time?
My guess is that it included Mays.

Bobby Bonds, Willie Mays and Ken Henderson was pretty good but Mays was aging by then.
How about Reggie Sanders, Andruw Jones and Brian Jordan?
I might go with Rickey Henderson, Dwayne Murphy and Tony Armas.
