Yeah Straw is just embarrassing out there. Still way too many baseball people who think "guy fast, guy play centerfield." One of the reasons Richard Hidalgo was such an underrated player in his mid 20s. He had tremendous range in CF because his instincts were damn near perfect. But he wasn't that fast and looked even slower than he actually was with his running style so people assumed he wasn't good.

Because he knows he has a limited range.  With a competent CF, any ball the CF can get to in left he should take.

Yeah, but is it really fair to expect a Major League centerfielder to have the awareness and understanding of a 14-year-old Pony Leaguer?
