Just watch Johnny Gomes in Atlanta this year! Built like a truck, runs the outfield like a truck, but still works hard and hustles out there. Always has!

Not me. I would rather have Player A who win me games with the bat only and isn't put in a position to lose me games with his glove (a WAR-positive player overall), then Player B who doesn't win me games with either his bat or his glove (a WAR-neutral player, or more exactly, a replacement player), just because Player B is a better fielder.
