He's easily the best that you watch play....but lots of people, and most people that I hear talk about defense, say Andruw Jones is the best CF in baseball. It's hard to judge defensive skill when people are too easily persuaded by diving catches and fielding percentage.

I saw the game. He robbed a double. There is no way in hell that would've got over the wall. It probably would've hit the middle of the fence. I'm not taking anything away from Torii, but it was DEFINITELY not going to be a home run.

Like I said I am very biased.... however the more i think about it, they are a lot closer then I initially thought
I've watched 20+ Braves games now and the majority of the Twins games, and would have trouble accepting that Jones is better then Hunter, but I'll listen to it.... Cameron - nope - we actually just won the other day as Cameron missed two cutoff men and let FatCroy rumble his softball playing ass around the bases!

Baseball Tonight/SC will confirm this.
I agree it was close, however double, homer, or whatever it was a great grab that only a few guys would of even been to the track or let alone get a glove on, Thome blasted it...
