Top 10 CF Right Now

MLB Network did their Top 10 Center Fielders last night.

Buxton ranked #3, which surprised me, but in looking at the list I don't think is too crazy. There really aren't many top flight, 2-way center fielders in the game right now. At least not many that stay healthy. I think I would've had Buxton in the #4 or 5 range after taking a look at all the options which isn't what I would've guessed based on his games played. 

Curious what other people's list of top 10 CFers in the game look like! No Judge, Bellinger, or Duran for this exercise as they don't expect those guys to be playing CF for those who are questioning their lack of appearance on the list.

Brenton Doyle is the best defensive centerfielder in baseball. His bat drooped a bit last year but he is easily still a top ten CF in MLB.

He was discussed. Varsho is considered the best defender by the metrics (take that as you will) by a long shot over the last 3 years, which is the sample they use in their calculations. And Doyle has some pretty nasty Colorado splits.

Not agreeing or disagreeing, just giving you what they said on the show when they talked about the guys who just missed. I'll add that I think Pete Crow Armstrong is the best defender in CF, but Doyle is certainly very, very good and has an argument for being on the top 10.
