Who has the best oufield arm in baseball?

I guarantee you it will surprise you. If you enjoy baseball, John Walsh's piece on outfield arms at Hardball Times is required reading. It is, without a doubt, the most interesting and informative baseball article I've read throughout what has been the most interesting offseason in baseball history.

Walsh's piece is SABR-writing at its best: he doesn't overwhelm you with the genius of formulae, but he makes you feel much more informed about the game. Some of the more interesting names to look up when you get there, for better or for worse:

B.J. Upton
Torii Hunter
Shane Victorino
Willy Taveras (really?)
Nick Swisher

In January 2003, a group of sports-loving friends launched The Sports Frog. In the time since, we have become an oasis for intelligent sports discussion on the Web. That's right, we said oasis. If you are here for the first time be sure to swing by The Swamp and join the conversation.
