Andruw Jones vs. Torii Hunter

Which outfielder would you rather have if you're the Braves, Andruw Jones or Torii Hunter?

I ask because of a column in Monday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which says that "Ideally, Andruw Jones stays with the Braves. Not only after this season as a free agent, but forever. Still, if he decides to bolt to the highest bidder with his mighty bat and magic glove, his replacement makes too much sense... Torii Hunter." So is Hunter just a consolation prize if Jones leaves, or would you actually take him over Andruw?

Hunter is a poor man's Jones...a good replacement...but I rather have the real thing.

Hunter may not be as good as the plate, but he's better in the field, isn't he?

Re: Andruw Jones vs. Torii Hunter

I agree with Gotham. Jones is the CF everybody would want. Great defense and great bat. Hunter is just a notch below him. If Jones leaves, I would lock up Hunter right away. He is below Jones, but not that far below.

Re: Andruw Jones vs. Torii Hunter

I hope we get andruw to stay, hes the best defense cf in the game, he has a streaky bat aswell, as for hunter, Ive always liked torii, his defense is almost as good but offensively doesnt make the cut, although hes done really well so far this year..If I had to see andruw go, hunter would be my first choice, griffey Jr. being my second..
