Date	Question	Answer
2008-09-15 14:00:00	Cecil Fielder has to fit somewhere in the discussion of least-athletic players - I'd throw a Lonnie Smith in there too. (buggyracer from Clearfield, PA)	Lonnie Smith was simply a horrible outfielder. I have no idea how a guy with 370 career stolen bases could be un-athletic. (Kevin Goldstein)
