From: john smith on 3 May 2010 12:54 We all know an outfielder's arm is not best gauged by the number assists. Check that, maybe you can use that gauge in his first two years. After that reputation should take over and assists should fall based on respect for the arm and now fear by the runner. Some of my guys with great arms: Roberto Clemente Carl Furrillo Ellis Valentine Dave Winfield Dwight Evans Jesse Barfield Dave Parker Larry Walker

I wouldn't make a guess at "all-time" either, but I think the best two I've seen currently are Ichiro! (though he was more noteworthy when he played RF) and Jeff Francoeur.
