    Aight, lemme end this with a KO right now:

    Ryne Sandberg: 9282 PA | 4.05 fWAR/600 | 4.2 rWAR/600 PA
    Chase Utley: 5128 PA | 6.32 fWAR/600 PA | 6.26 rWAR/600 PA

    Utley has 1/2 as many PAs right now...thats definitely whats hurting his HOF hopes, but he has been clearly more valuable than Sandberg in his career. If he can get another 2000 PA (3 full seasons) of 4.5+ WAR rate, then he >>> Sandbage

    and you would be wrong, although I don't think either should be in CF.

    No way dude.
    For those that liked the same sex
    Had the characteristics
    The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
    And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
    Man-made rewiring of a predisposition
    Playing God, aw nah here we go
    America the brave still fears what we don't know
    And God loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
    But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
    I don't know

    Thats a pretty good list. I'd say Josh Reddick may need to be on that list, but don't know who to take out.

    Gregor Blanco deserves to be on that list.

    If he had more innings logged, I think it would be a no doubter.

    Any defensive metric that excludes Franklin Gutierrez and Drew Stubbs is a list that is unworthy.. Removal choices start with Brett Gardner, Bryce Harper, Alex Gordon and Giancarlo Stanton... in that order

    If you take out positional adjustment, basically Gordon, Stanton, Heyward etc don't belong. The only corner outfielder in my mind that would still be elite is Brett Gardner.

    Trout
    Guit
    Bourn
    Boujous
    Stubbs
    Span
    etc.

    Kemp isn't as great as people assume and he isn't a top 10 defensive outfielder in the game that's for certain.
