HOLY CRAP I just about passed out. Good job on the realism "sigh" Looks like some editing will need to be done

they all seem perfectly fine to me.

vazquez had a better year than Sabathia, Rivera had a better year than Crawford, and Reyes is one of the best in the game when he's healthy

what's the big deal? bottom line they're all good players separated by very little

does it really matter if a player is 5th instead of 4th?

LOL

Im the biggest Ranger fan there is, and I dont believe Hamilton is the 2nd best LF in the game. Top 4-6 range yes, but not #2. I think he needs more consistent numbers over the next few years.

Having Crawford that low is a joke in my opinion.

Thanks for the help. After i posted this i did realize what it meant but for a while there i was puzzled must just be getting old and slowly losing my memory. I guess i haven't played the game in a while. Well once again thanks for the reply.

It appears to me based on the overall bars, we have four ties including a three way for 7-9. At that point RANKINGS DO NOT MATTER.

However, from the looks of it, the top 9 appear to be all in the "A" range overall.

Before everybody goes nuclear on Crawford being 9th:

He isn't worse than Manny or Bay ingame, he is different. But the overall rating for LF is mostly based on power ratings, just like speed+defense are more important for the SS OVR.
Crawford will be a better contact hitter, basestealer and defender, but lacks power for a corner OF, that's why he is ranked 9th overall.

I hope next year there will be no OVR rating at all, because everybody brings something different to the table.

Honestly man, how can you say Juan Rivera even compares to Carl Crawford. Let's go by the main categories in baseball here...

Juan Rivera is a better power hitter than Crawford, yes, but it's not like he is a slugger like Pujols or A-Rod.
However, there is where it ends for Rivera being better than Crawford.
Crawford is a better hitter for average. He has a .295 career average and Rivera has a .285 career average. They both average the same amount of doubles per 162 average, but Crawford averages 13 more triples a year than Rivera. Crawford is so much faster than Rivera, it's laughable. Crawford averages 54 stolen bases a year. Rivera averages 2. Crawford is an amazing fielder, Rivera is not even a good fielder according to baseball reference and his perception throughout baseball. Rivera has a much better arm but when it comes to their range in the outfield, Crawford is far superior. Crawford is much more durable than Rivera. And Crawford is 3 years younger than Rivera. You honestly think just cause Rivera will hit 12 more homeruns than Crawford in 2010, that he should be better overall than Crawford? You have to go by a players overall game. Just cause Marcus Thames averages a lot of homeruns per ab, does that mean he's a better overall outfielder than Matt Holliday? No, it doesnt.

Good list those are a few of the premier LF's.

El Caballo does good for us. Nice to see'em listed.
