C - Adley 1B - Gerber 2B - Madrigal 3B - Romero SS - Grenier LF - Conforto CF - Ellsbury RF - Gillespie DH - Larnach SP - Heimlich SP - Wetzler SP - Boyd RP - Chamberlain CP - Gunderson Was Gillespie really that good in right? Wouldn't it be better for Larnach to start there? Also, no one else to start at DH? K.J. Harrison? Or put Davis in right over Gillespie?

Cole Gillespie was an outstanding left fielder. He was a good enough outfielder to play CF in 41 games at the major-league level. If anyone is moving to improve this fantasy outfield defensively, it's Conforto.

Here's the question I think is interesting: Is this year's outfield the best ever at OSU? I think there are only a couple years that might challenge these guys, particularly when Ellsbury and Gillespie played together briefly. But all 3 together, as a group, both offensively and defensively? Has there ever been a better outfield at OSU than Melton, Boyd, and Meckler? Man, I dunno hard to beat! Kwan, Larnach, Anderson in '18.....Anderson is the weak link, but he was pretty damn good defensivley in left. Conforto, Hendrix, Davis in '14.....Hendrix was all Pac 12. That was a helluvan outfield. Ultimately, I think I'll take this year's OF After seeing it all play out, I would say that 2022 Oregon State's outfield was probably the best in Oregon State history.

My all-time (since 1997 when I started paying attention) Beaver baseball team: C: Rutchman 1B: Gerber 2B: Bazzana SS: Barney 3B: Barden LF: Conforto CF: Ellsbury RF: Gillespie SP: Nickerson SP: Buck SP: Heimlich (unless we're considering him ineligible, then I'm going Moore) CP: Gundersen No love for Grenier? Barney was a great baseball player, but he did not really have the arm for shortstop. Barney won his Gold Glove at second. Grenier was phenomenal as a defensive shortstop. Beau Philip was also a very good defensive shortstop with a better arm than Barney. Barney had over 70 errors in his career. Probably had more in one season than Grenier did in his career. Just saying. Defensively I would take Grenier.

Darwin also played his entire OSU career on real grass and dirt.
You can make stats say whatever you want. Both played almost an equal number of games (Barney 184, Grenier 182). Barney had more errors (62-25). However, he had 904 career chances to Grenier's 684, or an average of 4.91 per game to 3.75 per game.
Darwin averaged 337 chances his sophomore and junior years. That's a huge number; Grenier's two best years average out at 273.
Now, many factors go into that, but Barney made one more play per game than Grenier did. That's a significant factor.

I think they have changed some of these over time. Don't get me wrong, I like Barney. He could always make the difficult play in college, seemed to boot/or throw away the easy one.

Assists + put outs + errors = total chances. Assists + put outs = total chances accepted.
