Langerhans is very underated out there. He's a fast guy, that can get to alot of balls.. He's got a pretty good arm, and you know he's giving 110% everytime he's on the field.Then Francoeur and Jones are two of the best OF's in the league. (defensively)
Re: Baseball's Top Outfields The Reds outfield is pretty solid. Ken Griffey Jr, Adam Dunn, and Ryan Freel.
Re: Baseball's Top Outfields Yankees hands down have the best:LF-MatsuiCF-DamonRF-AbreuAnd can sub in Melky Cabrera who hit .280 with 7 HRs and 65 RBI as a rookie last season.

He's a top 5 fielding centerfielder and a top 5 hitting centerfielder. Damon is a solid hitter with little power but high average, but probably a below average fielder because of his arm. It's just god awful.In right its probably Vlad. He's just so damn good. Abreu is not bad at all, but Vlad has the ability to take over series at a time, and is more consistent than Abreu.
Re: Baseball's Top Outfields You don't get any more consistent then Abreu. Abreu doesn't hit homers, or even drive in runs as well as Vlad, but he has just as good of an arm, and a good glove, and just as fast on the bases, and has a higher OBP. I'd take Vlad though, but I still like Matsui and Damon over Anderson/Matthews Jr.

I just remember the year he won the HR Derby, he tore it up in the first half, and nose-dived in the second half.I'd take Matthews Jr. over Damon, but I guess its just my preference. I really like his defense, but I guess Damon is more proven on the offensive side. Matthews Jr. needs to prove this year that his batting numbers from last year weren't a fluke.

You make a good point about Abreu, but his average still remained around .300 and he still led the league in OBP (or was real close)..And exactly right about matthews jr. I like his game alot as well, but first of all he took steroids, second of all I'd like to see him play well w/o roids..let him play real well the next 2-3 seasons, then I'd say he is better. damon has never been on the DL in his career either, so he's durable and consistent and you know what your getting out of johnny.
