I hate to get involved in any disputes on this, but I happen to believe Jim Edmunds is the best defensive CF in baseball. The guy can catch balls over his shoulder routinely. Jones is a fabulous defensive CF, but I just give the nod to Edmunds based on the absolutely unbelievable catches he has been making the past few years.

jim edmonds actually had the worst fielding percentage of the three gold glove outfielders this year, at .988. his leaping home run saving catches are what reeled in the glove for him, but jones gets to a lot of balls that he doesn't HAVE to leap for because he has great instincts

the only problem with edmonds is that he tries to make routine plays look difficult, and difficult plays look spectacular. i think that he is a great center fielder, but i would take andruw jones over him every day of the week in the field. jones makes difficult plays look easy, and he makes spectacular plays look difficult, and i would much rather have that.

edmonds is a better hitter though, so as overall players i would take edmonds.
