Being a Cardinals fan, it's really sad to see Jimmy struggling, but it was a bad deal for you guys. I bet Edmonds would be looking like a gold glover if he was patrolling centerfield in Colorado or Philly or something!!
Now before I say this, keep in mind Jim Edmonds and Ken Griffey Jr. are obviously no where close to each other in terms of plate skill, but when the Reds moved Griffey to RF, he was able to stay healthy and his offensive numbers picked up. Maybe doing the same thing would be helpful for Edmonds too, thats what I was hoping we would do last year.
Even if the guy can't field the position anymore, he can definitely teach it. Mark him down as one of the top 5 to ever field the position.
