Al Kaline was so amazing that they named a battery after him!

Yeah, no. Kaline may not have had the greatest stats of all the Tigers (we did have some guy named Ty Cobb), to every living Tiger fan he really is Mr. Tiger for his conduct on and off the field.

I only watched far enough to make sure Al Kaline got the recognition he deserved. Greatest Tiger of them all.

Ichiro, possibly the greatest singles hitter ever, and a dynamite right field defender. Someone has to get on base for the power hitters. Ten years in a row with 200 or over hits. And the year singles record.

And most hits ever in a season...

There's no way that Dawson should be ahead of Kaline, Clemente or Mel Ott. The list is good but the order is suspicious. Putting Winfield ahead of Frank Robinson also is very suspect. Numbers 1 and 2 are fine of course.

Dave Winfield ahead of Robinson, Clemente, Ichiro? This is some kind of joke, right?

Winfield and Dawson are WAY too high.

Clemente is the clear #1 playing in the field, and I don’t anyone but Ruth and Aaron making it up in the batter’s box.

Clemente at 7??? naaahhh

Dave Winfield over Frank Robinson and Clemente! No way! And Andre Dawson is too high and probably not on the top 10.

George Steinbrenner said he traded Mr. October (Jackson) for Mr. May (Winfield).

Clemente was a five tool player, and very clutch. Maybe the second greatest, defensive outfielder behind Mays. Ichiro, where is he, was one of the toughest outs I'd ever seen, and he was excellent in the field. Not crazy about Winfield or Dawson. Thrilled that you mentioned Al Kaline, maybe the most fundamentally sound outfielder of all time, and the smartest. He was always in the right position for every batter.

One of the most overrated baseball players ever because he was a legendary human being. Not that he wasn't great -he was - but he wasn't as astounding as his memory has made him seem. The most underrated player on this list is Mel Ott.

Good list. Could quibble with the order. Did you miss Ichiro or did I?

Ruth played right field and routinely hit over .320 in his career. Plus first bunch of years as a pitcher. So tell me if you're picking your team Ruth isn't in right field.

@MichaelGibbons-uk2mc

Lifetime .330 hitter as I recall. In 1961 world series two records were broken . Most lifetime WS home runs (Mantle, of course with 16 or 17). Other record broken by Whitey Ford, most lifetime consecutive scoreless WS innings pitched, 33. Also a Ruth record. So if you're going to talk about all around greatest player, find someone like Ruth who hit for power, hit for average, an d set pitching records against the best the National League could field.

@@MichaelGibbons-uk2mc according to people who were around when Ruth played, he was also an excellent fielder with a strong arm

Mel Ott at only 9? Every stat is subjective but short of Ruth, Aaron and Musial, he would have a WAR above everyone else.

Might move Clemente up more

Good job don't know Waner I think I would put Ichiro on the list. My personal favorite is Dawson. If not for 12 knee surgeries he might be 3 or 4 .

Clemente, easily.

1. Aaron 2. Clemente 3. Robinson. Past that it's arguable.

Roberto Clemente top 5 for sure. Dave Winfield - top 10 - not top 5. In fact, you can put Roberto Clemente at No. 3 and Winfield at No. 7...

I thought Arron was a LEFT fielder?

Clemente at number seven? Ichiro not even on the list?

What about Ichiro?

Robinson and Clemente should be 3 and 4

Big mistake not including Ichiro.

So what, he saved baseball after the Black Sox nearly destroyed it. After Little League I played in the next league up, i.e. Babe Ruth League. Clemente a great fielder and hitter for average, about the same as Ruth's BTW, and great human being. But there's no Roberto Clemente League

Ichiro???

If Billy Williams didn't make the top ten then he must be number 11 or 12.

+CapAnson12345 if you're going to look at the top right fielders as a whole, you have to look at the entire picture. Ichiro is tied at number two all time for 10 gold gloves in right field, throw in his season hits record in 2004' along with his 10 straight 200 hit seasons, and you've got a hands down top 10 best RF in history.

But who does he replace? 10. Paul Waner was actually extremely similar to Suzuki but drew a LOT more walks, and maybe you could argue it's close with Ichiro's better defense.. but I like offense over defense any day of the week. 9. Mel Ott truthfully should be higher on the list, Suzuki isn't close to Ott. 8. Al Kaline - silly. Al Kaline is basically an American League version of Roberto Clemente. 7. Clemente - A better fielder than Suzuki, and a better all around hitter. Not close 6. Andre Dawson - rated way too high to be honest. Dawson was actually Ichiro Suzuki with power but a lower batting average. slightly worse fielder, about the same speed, MUCH more power. 5. Frank Robinson - now you start getting to the guys it's just pointless to even compare Ichiro with. Robinson was obviously a more valuable player 4. Tony Gwynn - Possibly the best contact hitter of all time, although Ichiro might be a somewhat better fielder, but we're talking a difference of maybe 30 errors over the course of their careers. Gwynn did win 5 gold gloves. 3. Dave Winfield - rated too high but a clearly better hitter than Suzuki, won 7 gold gloves although his fielding stats aren't that amazing. 2. Hank Aaron - no point in comparing 1. Babe Ruth - no point in comparing The only player on the list I'd say Suzuki MIGHT be better than is Paul Waner, and personally I prefer Waner for his better offensive capabilities. Maybe you like Ichiro but the point is it's at least a discussion. BTW.. these aren't the only right fielders better than Ichiro Suzuki.. Dwight Evans, Reggie Jackson, Bobby Abreau, and Larry Walker I'd also rank higher, and Dave Parker and Sammy Sosa were also better for five or six years (until Sosa came off the juice and Parker was slowed by injuries).

Dwight Evans? Started RF every opening day for 18 years for the Red Sox. Guess that happens everyday, right? Yet you put Gwynn in there? All Tony Gwynn ever cared about was Tony Gwynn's BA

Surprised to see Clemente so far down at no. 7. IMO arguably the best player of all time, along with Mays and Aaron. So either Roberto or Hammerin' Hank at no. 1, but no way no. 7.

Very bad list you need help.

IMHO, Roberto Clemente is probably the greatest fielding right fielder in the modern era with the all-time greatest arm; maybe of all time. But as great an all-round player as he was, he does not compare as a overall power hitter to Henry Aaron and the Babe, and Frank Robinson. This is coming from a lifelong Clemente fan from back in the day. No player ever meant more to me than he did.

Clemente at only number 7!?? That's a travesty!

Who writes this crap! Dave Parker beats half these guys, not to mention Clemente was #1

Most of the time that I saw Hank Aaron play. He played leftfield. So he's to me was no where better than Roberto Clemente. Nobody played right field better. Who made this list.
