Angels: Best Outfield in Baseball?

by Dogman on Feb 9, 2007 10:45 AM PST Comment 7 comments

ESPN.com posted an article by Phil Rogers today in which he claims the Angels have the best outfield in baseball (even taking into account Juan Rivera's injury). I was a bit surprised.

I think the Angels have a decent outfield and there aren't any other outfields that stand out as being exceptional, but I'm not sure I would say Guerrero-Matthews-Anderson comprises the best outfield in baseball. I was curious to gauge other Angel fans' feelings about this.

Are we going to get to watch the best outfield in baseball every day this year?

If not, who is the best, and why?

It kills me...

...but I think I would take the Yankees' outfield for this year - Devil Rays for the next five years.

I should have also included

the Blue Jays with Vernon Wells, Alex Rios, and Adam Lind (or Reed Johnson if they don't know what they're doing). That's a pretty good, young outfield.

Rivera #4

We have a good outfield, and maybe the DEEPEST outfield - but fragile and aging...

I guess I never really thought of our outfield as compared to others because of the insanity of the Matthew's signing and the Rivera injury. Even still, the competition is pretty evenly spread. The Devil Rays make me drool with outfield talent envy. Crawford is, and has been since 2003, my favorite non Angel.
