I disagree. I think Stubbs is overrated in CF simply because people think he's fast.

He is slow to get a jump on balls hit in front of him.

Hannigan grounds out.
Arroyo flys out to center (Almost a blooper play with players running into each other)
Cozart walks.

Good ole Stubbs. Dusty continues to frustrate us with his presence in the lineup.

and Heisey is slow to get a jump in any direction and then just slow period for a CF. Stubbs is far from perfect, but he's an above average CF. Heisey is below average. I've seen Heisey dive and miss balls hit in front of him, turning a single into a triple. You just don't do that in CF.

Re: 9/2/12 - Reds at Astros

Can we stop the "Stubbs is a good CF/Stubbs is a lousy CF" rehashed argument before it starts, please?

Re: 9/2/12 - Reds at Astros

Trivia question is 'Who was the last Reds' hitter, prior to Ryan Hanigan, to have more walks than strikeouts?'

Bogusevic battles for 12 pitches and then gets a double on a liner to left
