Making Your '00 Face: Final starting outfielder
With the '00's almost behind us, it's time to take a look back and work together to make a BCB All Decade team for the '00s. Each day, we'll tackle a new position, and we'll have our 25 man roster complete sometime around the 1st of the year.
The concept here is pretty simple. Each day, I'll give you a list of candidates: For position players, it's the full list of players who appeared in at least 100 games at the position during the '00s. Here are the players we've selected so far:
First Base: Prince Fielder
Second Base: Rickie Weeks
Shortstop: J.J. Hardy
Third Base: Bill Hall
Corner Outfield: Ryan Braun
Center Field: Mike Cameron
Voting for a catcher opened yesterday and will close at 4 pm tomorrow. Today we need to select our final outfielder. I've narrowed the list a little, removing some players who did not receive significant support in their first time on the ballot:
Seasons as a Brewer: 2, 2000-2001*
Slash line as a Brewer: .242/.352/.480
UZR (Fielding) as a Brewer: n/a**
WAR as a Brewer: 4
* - Burnitz was also a Brewer from 1996-1999, but those stats aren't reflected here.
** - FanGraphs only has UZR data dating back to 2002, so Burnitz has no data.
Seasons as a Brewer: 8, 2000-2007*
Slash line as a Brewer: .276/.348/.496
UZR (Fielding) as a Brewer: +12.7 runs**

* - Jenkins was also a Brewer from 1998-1999.
** - Data only includes 2002-2007 seasons.

Question
Is the All-Decade team supposed to represent the player that we consider to be most reminiscent of the Brewers, or should it be the best player to play for the Brewers during the decade?

Probably a little of both
Jenkins and Sheets are probably the only ones around long enough to truly represent the decade.

Jenkins
You’d have to put Jenkins. He’s the only one with a large enough sample size. Sad.
Wow.
I just noticed, but am actually pretty shocked that Jenkins and El Caballo have the same OPS. I always thought that Carlos was an obviously better hitter and expected to see a large difference in his and Geoff’s OPS.
