Great research and very interesting discussion. Defense certainly does seem to be often overlooked. As one who had the privilege of seeing Belanger steal more than a few hits away from my favorite team, I would agree that he was the best of the best with the glove. I think another interesting subject would be Graig Nettles, another terrific fielder, who hit with power and drove in runs, pretty much did everything well except hit for average.
