Ausmus,

Throwing is such a minimal part of what an outfielder does. If he has 15 outfield assists, you have to put that in context with 300 putouts. If each out has the same value, then it is easier to gain more putouts than it is to gain more assists. This is why a lot of teams trade speed for arm strength. That being said, I will be posting the position by position ranks in RZR as the winter progresses. I suspect that Pence ranks better there.
