Quick quiz, who was the better defensive RF, '04 Sosa or '05 Burnitz? Answer: They're basically the same, Rates of 105 to 106. HELL NO! Burnitz is a much better fielder. He has gotten to a lot of balls that would've gotten by Sosa, and he can actually hit the cut-off man. Got to look beyond the box score, man. agreed, i trust your judgement instead of statistics.
