The outfielders are bit more difficult to single out. The interchangeability of the position’s nature allows for far more movement between the other two positions. Along with the incessant annual turnover (at least lately), the folks that come and go at the outfield spots makes this more of a personal listing.
An objective, unbiased approach may not be so easily achieved. Therefore, this list will essentially be a public showing of who my top LFer’s are. However, I will not discourage engaging, respectful interactive comments below. In fact, I welcome it.
Now then, with the disclaimer (for lack of a better term) out of the way, I hope you enjoy the left fielders I have picked. Let’s get started.
Additionally, the 1-5 format is not a ranking per se. This is a random listing, not giving a “who’s better than whom” rating style, leaves open for more in depth conversation.
