Hamilton

The Rangers' Cliff Lee was masterful yet again last night in New York, striking out 13 Yankees in eight innings without allowing a run as he helped push Texas ahead, two games to one in the American League Championship Series.

Josh Hamilton is a special player. We all know that by now. In his first big league season as a starter, Hamilton wowed the Rangers and baseball fans the world over by hitting .304 with 32 home runs and 130 RBI. The sky seems to be the limit for the 27-year-old Hamilton, as his power and consistency should only improve with time.

Two or three weeks ago, I wrote an article that ranked every Center Fielder in the history of MLB, offensively. A letter grade was given to each player, and they were also put in order from 1-236.

I will do the same thing in this article, defensively—every Center Fielder in the history of MLB that played in at least 800 games.

At a later date, I will rank them overall, combining offensive and defense.
