Most teams use a speedster in the center garden, but the player at the top of the list is a home run threat.

1. Earl Averill, St. Louis
2. Cool Papa Bell, San Diego
3. Lloyd Waner, Cincinnati
4. Wally Moses, Detroit
5. Mule Haas, New York Giants
6. Frank Demaree, San Francisco
7. Hank Leiber, Philadelphia
8. Jo-Jo White, Washington
9. Hersh Martin, Cleveland
10. Terry Moore, Portland
11. Willard Brown, Chicago Cubs
12. Buster Mills, Brooklyn
13. Johnny Frederick, New York Yankees
14. Tom Field, Boston
15. Dan Shackleford, Hollywood
16. Nelson Elliott, Oakland
17. Larry Rosenthal, Baltimore
18. John Kinney, Pittsburgh
19. Lou Chiozza, Chicago White Sox
20. Denny Sothern, Seattle
21. Doug Dickey, Kansas City
22. Tom Oliver, Milwaukee
23. Mike Kreevich, Sacramento
24. Paco Hernandez, Los Angeles

As good a defensive outfielder as Joe DiMaggio is, Mike Kreevich seems just a little better. I agree with the AI manager of the Solons. I'd play Kreevich in center and Joe D in left, too.

The top young talent in center field includes:

1. Chris McPhee, Portland
2. Brown
3. Vince DiMaggio, New York Yankees
4. Brad Johnston, Detroit
5. Harry Craft, Oakland

It's entirely possible that Joe DiMaggio is the third best fielding outfielder in his family. Vince has a howitzer for an arm. We'll see how good Dominic turns out to be in a couple years.
