Michael A. Taylor

Taylor is a player I appreciate for reasons box scores often miss: elite defense in center field. Out of Fort Lauderdale, he made his name with the Nationals as a glove-first outfielder who saves pitchers with catches at the wall, the kind of unglamorous, game-changing work I respect deeply. Bouncing through the Royals, Twins, Pirates, and White Sox tells me his defense was trusted everywhere he went. He is not the all-around superstar type, but a craftsman who does one thing superbly. I will always cheer for the artisans of the game over the highlight chasers.
