Like I said, that's just off the top of my head, so I'm sure I'm missing a few guys and might even be wrong about some of the above.
I'd add Dave Winfield to the list.....I never see him as being a better than average fielder. I might understand that, but his arm rating doesn't ever seem to be very good and he always had one of the best arms I have ever seen.
