The Top Five patrolling Center Field in the Show for 2014 is led of course by Halos CF Mike Trout and the 2013 M.V.P. on the Senior Circuit who plays for the "Buccos". Both complete players as Trout is beyond an "Earthling" and "Cutch 22" has replaced the oft-injured Dodgers CF Matt Kemp as the best CF in the NL. Who else made the Top 5..."Car-Go" from the Rocks...Adam "Bombs" Jones from the O's...who?
Top 5 CENTER FIELDERS in MLB for 2014 in order:
1. Mike Trout #Halos "Monster from Millsville"
He was slow coming out the gate but by mid-May to early June he was on one of those Mike Trout-Only Tears killing Show Pitching. The "Monster from Millsville" ended his 2013 campaign with a .323 avg 27 bombs 97 ribbies 109 runs 33 thefts 110 free passes 30 two-baggers 9 three-baggers with a .988 OPS...enough said and he the late great Mickey Mantle walking.
2. Andrew McCutchen #Buccos "Cutch 22"
After finishing in the Top 5 in 2012 in the NL M.V.P. Voting he cashed in 2013 voted M.V.P. as he led the Buccos to the Post Season and move over Pens and Steelers. A .317 average with 38 doubles and 185 hits...he carried that Pirated Offense along with Pedro Alvarez dba "El Toro". Now the Buccos are on the upswing what will he do for an Encore in 2014? The Face of the Pirates Resurrection...
3. Jacoby Ellsbury #BronxBombers
He gets "Paid in Full" as the Yankees made sure he left the Carmines or any other suitor. There is no denying the talent as one of the best patrolling Center but its the Injuries. He played in 124 games in 2013 hitting .298 while stealing 52 bags scoring 92 runs....while nothing gets past him in Center. If the Yanks get that kind of Production as they are expected to at least in his first three to four years of the Contract...money well-deserved.
4. Adam Jones #Orioles aka "Adam Bombs"
He is the anchor of that O's "D" in the Middle ass well as the protector for O's 3-Hole Monster "Crush" Davis. Jones put up Monster Power Numbers in 2013 with 33 bombs 108 ribbies while hitting at a .285 clip. He also played in 160 of 162 games and that is durability and O's CF Stability...He and Davis will be expected to do more in 2014 with Star O's Hot Corner Manny Machado rehabbing the Torn Right Knee.
5. Carlos Gonzalez #Rocks aka "Car-Go"
They move him from Left Field to Center but pitchers probably wish they would move him out of the Show. Another talented Venezuelan whom played in just 110 games in 2013 but as talented as they come. A .302 average hitting 26 bombs and knocking in 70 runs with an OPS of .958. He will be manning CF as the Rocks lose CF Dexter Fowler in the Off-Season. Car-Go, Troy "Tulo" Tulowitzki, and Michael Cuddyer when healthy might carry the Rocks to the top of the NL West or near the Top.
Best of the Rest...
