This list includes three of the greatest players ever and a fourth (Cedeno) who, according to Bill James in The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract, was the FOURTH best CF of all time based on career value up to age 25.
Cedeno is the only CF who appeared on more than one screen, and he showed up on all three.
Cedeno technically didn’t qualify that year because he “only” hit 10 HR rather than 11, but their numbers are eerily similar.

This is the classic Hendry strategy - pick up guys on the cheap who've had past levels of success and have excuses for their current lack of success, and count on the bounce back.
Cesar Izturis wouldn't be a horrible gamble for a team not expecting to compete and having no options at SS, but that's not what we've been told is happening here.
The fact that we have to go back to 2004 to find Cesar Izturis' last full season and the Cubs thought this was a good man to pick up is inconceivable in itself.

 Bleed Cubbie Blue :: Open Thread: Cubs vs. Diamondbacks, Monday 7/31, 7:05 CT
Of course, he completely ruins Cedeno's value, since Cedeno is worthless as a 2B (his only hope in terms of offense was to match the MLB mean for a starting SS's offensive output, which is significantly lower than that of a starting MLB 2B).
Cedeno is likely to be better than Perez, but he might never have the bat to be a quality regular at second.
Cedeno makes the major league minimum, so it's not as though he's entrenched as the the starter next year at second (if only we had a left-handed second baseman with a little pop...just kidding).

 The VERY underrated Cesar Cedeno
Although he didn't walk much, only scored 100 runs one time, and only drove in 100 once, Cesar Cedeno somehow still remains one of the greatest offensive forces in Astro history.
In 1972 he became the first 20/50 player in major league history by hitting 20 homers and stealing 50 bases.
I mean, think who didn't do it: Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Willie Mays, Bobby Bonds: all pretty fast guys with power, but none were able to do even once what Cedeno did three times.
