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?

Griffey. Hands down.

To answer your question..I'd say Edmonds

Can't disagree with Griffey either. In his prime there wasn't a ball he couldn't get to.

Haha, I think I would pay just to see Manny Ramirez play center field for a game. What a mess that would be....

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.
