Re: Best CF ever ?
Cobb (8 OPS+ over 190 - incl.) or Mantle (6 OPS+ over 180 - incl. 206,210, and 223!) were probably the best offensive CF. Speaker and Mays were probably the best overall. If I had to choose between them I would take Speaker. Speaker had better peak years (4 OPS+ over 180) than Mays (1 OPS+ over 180) and went 3-0 in World Series (306 .398 .458), Mays was 1-4 ( .239 .308 .282). They have about the same numbers overall (22 seasons with OPS+'s of 156 and 158) and both were considered elite defenders.Last edited by snate; 03-15-2005, 04:56 PM.Comment
