August 4, 200521 yr Author He slows down in order to make diving catches as opposed to regular ones. kthxbie 888415[/snapback] haha, never noticed that. Andruw Jones > Jim Edmonds. Andruw Jones can read the ball so well and gets such a good enough jump that he rarely ever has to make diving catches.
August 4, 200521 yr Something to also consider.. Edmonds always plays shallow so when a ball is hit hard he has to attempt to dive backwards (or like last night).. When a ball is hit just in front of him sometimes he'll dive forwards. Yea.. He's a hot dog at times but a damn good one too!
August 4, 200521 yr Andruw Jones plays even shallower. That guy is by far the best fielder of our generation.

And Jim Edmonds is an amazing fielder as well, but he does embellish plays from time to time. He is not as bad as a certain New York Short Stop who will jump and throw when he has plenty of time to plant, turn, and throw however.
August 4, 200521 yr Alot of guys make easy plays look harder then they are. We have Baseball Tonight and Web Gems to thank for that...
