I was going to post this earlier today but didn’t.

I’m pretty sure that Mookie and Beni are faster but Jackie is the best CF of the three.  Speed matters but there are other intangibles to playing defense.

Betts is in right because it’s harder to play than center in Fenway. I believe if Bradley were to be traded Benintendi would be moved to center even though Betts would be a better center fielder.

But Bradley has a unique tracking skill most outfielders don’t have. On long hits he takes his eyes off the ball, hits full sprint, runs to the right spot and can accurately gauge when to look up again and find the ball. 

Also Betts has the best arm of the 3, another argument for him in right.  

You sure about that one? LoL 

Check out #3 on the list.
