People always get pissed when their team's player gets passed over, entertaining.

I love Adam Eaton's defence and think he's a terrific player, but all four players who have been voted four have a case to be #4 here.

Heyward has no case haha

I know I've voted for guys who aren't having career years offensively, but there's a difference between being down on luck at the plate and completely lost like Heyward is.

He shouldn't even be on the poll

Okay fair. I just love his defense.
 
Either way, I voted for Eaton but no way is he the clear winner is what I'm getting at.

OK, just for fun, I switched my vote from Heyward to Gonzalez.  No more tie.
Heyward gets my vote for #5, Springer #6 and then possibly Eaton.

People always claim homerism when they can;t make a case for their bad player support.

Eaton is a fine player, but not in the top 5.  His offense is better than average, his defense is good.  He runs well.  His arm is not as strong as I'd like to see from a RF.  His best position may be left.  Unfortunately for the Sox, they need him in right, as Garcia has been a disappointment there.  Eaton would be a better LF for them than Cabrera is, but in the aggregate, the team is better with Melky in left and Eaton in right.

Eaton is worth more than double the wins because of his defense.
 
Gonzalez also plays half his games at Coors.

Cargos away OPS last 3 years is still better than Eatons's white sox career OPS. Cargo is my pick. Let's move on to #5

What ignorance.  He's the best RF in the game.  He's the best fielder in the game as well.  He's crushing every RF but one in WAR.  Yep, he's a bad bad man.  LOL

In what universe is he the best RF in the league? Are you basing that on just fielding?
