Though if you don't want me to be real sharp with you when I believe you've messed up, then return the favor.  The game plays two ways.
......................
The information you provide is interesting, but
(1) name the CF who ever looked BELOW average in Safeco (and Winn/Reed are definitely below the high bar that exists there).
(2) I'm going by eye.  That's not a legal defense, but in terms of baseball chat, I'm sitting there in the 3rd deck all year -- not in NY -- and I am seeing that ball hang in the air.
(3) If you're going to say stuff like "Ichiro's stats looked pedestrian" then please specify that you're holding up your own favorite metrics as the gospel.   
Ichiro in 2006 had a 3.06 RF and threatened for a while to set an ML record for putouts.  If you want to use PCA or whatever, then asterisk it.

It's possible that I'm "wrong" but it's not possible that I'm misinterpreting stats, because the basis for my belief is my eyes in the 3rd deck, and Mike Cameron's evaluation.
