Jay has enough speed to play CF and he's dog slow.

I'm not arguing that he can't play CF - never have. I'm just saying that his defensive reputation has become GG caliber in large part due to the spectacular Mets series (which has taken on Brendan Ryan vs. the Braves status in lore at this point) and the broadcast team overselling him. It's not that good.

He can play CF defensively. He's better suited to the corners, especially as he ages and adds a little weight, but he can play there and his bat can keep him there, especially if he can learn to be more selective.
