Outfield Splits

Outfield Splits
With Randy Winn so obviously uncomfortable in center field for the Mariners, there is a rapidly rising wave of blog and sports writing opinion calling to switch him back to left field and play Ichiro! in center. Problem: we can't seem to get our hands on position splits for Ichiro! The general feeling is that most if not all of his best Kobe years were in center field: True/False?

Thanks.

I'm afraid that I haven't stumbled across a source for outfield splits. My own faulty memory has Ichiro in right before moving to center, and Ichiro performing equally well in both.

When considering "best years," are you looking at fielding or batting? What would you consider his best years to have been?

I'm willing to skim through one year's worth of mini-boxscores to create a split, but don't have the time for many more. So I need something a little more narrowed down. (Note: I only have 1995 and later, not his phenominal 1994 season.)

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
