I think the one knock on his defense is his arm is average at best, though we got by with Fowler out there the last 2 years and he has one of the worst arms in CF in MLB. I don't recall hearing that about Almora. The only "knock" I recall on him defensively was that he's a bit slow for a CF but since he has such good instincts and ability to read the ball off the bat he makes up for him.
