ANDRUW JONES 8 straight Gold Gloves

Is Andruw the greatest defensive player ever in baseball?

Jmxvol · 11-03-2005, 04:42 PM

Quite possibly...I love the Braves and I know when a ball is hit to Center, I never sweat it.

Congrats to Andruw on yet another GG.

Hopefully the rightful player gets the NL MVP.

when i see an outstanding play in the outfeid by andruw i don't even get excited anymore, now when i see a great play by jim edmonds its a big deal everybody talks how good jimmy is, but it hardly ever happens

You don't have to dive all over the field to be a great defensive center fielder, although Edmonds does have several highlite reel catches to his credit. No coincidence that he's won several GG's himself.

I'd say he's the best Centerfielder. Ozzie Smith might have been the greatest fielder of all time though.

go cubs. braves sucks.

d lee for mvp.

**GAVol** · 11-03-2005, 10:11 PM

I think it's going to be Pujols.

As it should be.

As good of a season that Jones had... it's hard for me to believe they'll give the MVP to someone that batted .263.

Even if he did bat .263 you cannot forget his 51 big homers and all those rbi's. But thats not even the most importent part. MVP stands for Most Valuable Player, the Braves would have probably not even finished 500 without Andruw, and you can say the same for the Cardinals but you can't get me to believe that.

**tidwell** · 11-04-2005, 01:58 PM

Pujols would have comparative stats to to Jones, except for the fact he didn't play much at all in the last few weeks. Jones also had something like 50 or 60 more at bats with runners in scoring position tha Pujols, and only batted a little over .200 in those situations.

Pujols definitely deserves it, after being beat out by Barroid the last few years.

i am right there with you when it comes to hating barry bonds, but the past can't affect what happend this past year and you can't forget what this topic is about GOLD GLOVE(Andruw Jones Gold Glove Winnner-Pujols not)

That's a given for Andruw. He's that good. :bow: Not many balls get over his head. He's got good company in the outfield now with Jeff Franceour.

They'll be the "best tandem" in the outfield in the majors. Jeff has got a strong arm. He had quite a few assists this year and only started playing in July.
