|  Best Defensive Center Fielder in baseball in the last 15-20 years...
All right, I'm sure some of you on here are baseball fans so I figured I'd get your input on this. I just was arguing with my buddy for about 10 minutes because he was trying to tell me that Andruw Jones is a better CF than Jim Edmonds. I think that at 37 years old, Edmonds is still better than Jones who is 6 years younger and all ready starting to fall apart.
So what do you guys think? Edmonds or Jones, or someone else?

Torii Hunter can rob homeruns like no other and you see alot more of his defensive highlights than others. Might not be the best but he has my vote.

Griffey Jr and I'm not even sure if there's a close second. When he was healthy for Seattle he was one of the best defensive outfielders of all time.

Griffey made outfield play look easy. His range was so great and his arm was so good that he rarely had to make the highlight reel-style catches that guys like Jones, Hunter, and Edmonds got famous for because he really didn't need to. But when he had to make those plays, they were typically spectacular.
He was destined to be the greatest pure ballplayer since Willie Mays. Griffey should have gotten all the home run records and recognition, not Bonds.
