He was talking about projected range and such.

 

If we're talking about the future, Mitchell has much better tools to be the better outfielder. He's just much more athletic and his range should be greater than Danks'.

 

We'll see if it translates. Just because your fast and athletic, doesn't mean you have the instinct to excel at a position especially as important as CF. I'm rooting for him though.

I thought I recalled reading somewhere that Danks would make us forget about BA and his defense...

Don't get me wrong, both can be great outfielders.

 

And I think we as Sox fans really overrated BA's defense.

So an interesting question, barring any trades to pick up a quality left handed power bat how would a future outfield look like if both Mitchell and JDanks2 pan out? Do you switch Micthell to a corner spot? This would be a good future to bet on only if both develop offensively as well. Unlikely but anything is possible.

I don't think you can lose either way. It all depends who has the stronger arm in the end I think. Range between the two is close.
