I think he's one of the, if not the, best hitter/fielder in baseball. His hitting isn't nearly as good as the likes of Pujols, Lee, Manny but his fielding is exponentially better than Manny and while Pujols does fine at 1st and Lee is a gold-glover, Andruw is the #1 defensive center fielder in the game and has been for nearly a decade.
If only he could hit consistently for average...

Andrew Jones is a top 5 lock. Anyone who does not believe that does not know baseball.
Mike Schimdt hit for a low average. That did not keep him from being the the best 3rd ever.
Johney Bench hit for a low average also.
Andrew is a .270 career hitter. Thats not exactly Dave Kingman type numbers.

Best player is either David Ortiz or Albert Pujols. No one else holds a candle to them in the " I wagered on the other team and I am scared to death of which player batting from the other team," department.
If anyone comes up with ANY other player than these two you are either not a gambler, lying or both.

Ortiz is perfectly capable of playing first base. Over the long haul he is subpar defensively, but he could play there every day.
then the stupid he cant be MVP or the new " he contributes nothing in the field" whatever the hell that means would evaporate.
I respect defense but the he doesnt play the field so he is ineligable for an award that doesnt require it argument makes little sense to me. Argue it on other points, OK try, but not non-sensical stuff.
If you had money on the other team and a player came up with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the ninth, list all the players you would like to see hitting less than David Ortiz or Albert Pujols. Answer... none
