I think Safeco does pad D stats in the OF to a certain extent, but I think Gutierrez's defense is absolutely legit. Franklin Gutierrez has Cameron-esque instincts in CF. I think that his routes are even BETTER, which makes up for the difference in speed.
He leads the league in RZR and UZR and was #1 by a large margin the past few years by Bill James' plus/minus in RF. Gutierrez is THE best defensive CFielder in baseball IMO and hes already the 3rd best overall position player for the Ms.
Winn's RZR as a full-time CF in 2004 btw was .825. Thats Safeco.
