Defense. Zimmerman is at a 3.1 WAR right now, Sandoval 2.7.

Defense. Zimmerman is at a 3.1 WAR right now, Sandoval 2.7.

Sandoval's .423 wOBA* more then makes up the difference(Zimmerman is .369)

WAR includes both hitting and defense.

That's a lot of work. Lincecum vs. Greinke though.

[JDIsMyGod23]

Have a hard time believing Hawpe and Braun with their steel glove and all.

[behnke2017]

Braun is an above average left fielder. I don't get how people thing he's terrible defensively. I don't cringe on balls hit his way like you would have to with guys like Carlos Lee and Adam Dunn.

[Gigantes4Life]

Yeah Braun isn't a terrible LF, strong arm, mediocre range...with his bat it doesn't matter too much.

[iam brett favre]

P- CC Sabathia
C- Victor Martinez
1B- Mark Teixeira
2B- Ian Kinsler
SS- Derek Jeter
3B- A-Rod

And this is based on Sabermetrics how?

I understand that people have their own opinions, but this a specific thread asking for sabermetrics teams.

And I refuse to vote for Kinsler until he puts up an OPS of over .664 on the road.

ARod: .408 wOba....12.6 bRRA
Teixeira: .406.....19.7
Damon: .399.......16.7
Jeter: .386.......13.6
Ichiro: .386.......12.9

BOOM! Don't feel like looking up the others, to be honest.
