Avoid listening to any one person’s observations
Rally commented:
[Tim McCarver] said something about Melky having an arm that is just slightly above average. Not an informed comment at all. Does he even watch the games? Does he forget everything that happened a week or 2 ago? In game 3 of the Angels series, when Mathis hit the game winning gapper, there was no chance to throw Kendrick out. But that didn’t stop Melky from trying, and he threw the ball on the fly from left center to a spot about 10 feet in front of home plate. Very impressive throw indeed.
What did MLB fans say? The strongest arms in CF in MLB: Ankiel, BJ, Kemp, Hamilton, Victorino, Melky .... (bottom 2 Jacoby and Coco). Even if you don’t buy the Fans literally, arm strength is one of the easiest things to observe, and he’s at least well-above average.
