Outfielders Who Are Better than Gary Matthews, Jr.: Part 1

Jai Miller is a mediocre AAA outfielder who was just released by the Oakland Athletics. Miller has adequate plate discipline and mild pop, but strikes out a lot due to his inability to hit breaking pitches. He is also rangy and capable in the outfield, but nothing special. Still, these attributes make Jai Miller a much better player right now than Gary Matthews, Jr., who can't hit a fastball or a breaking pitch (striking out in 13 of 32 plate appearances) and certainly cannot play outfield very well either.
