Matsui was certainly better than Berroa in 2003.</i> As much as I don't want to, I'm going to disagree with that. Their offensive seasons were pretty similar. The biggest differences were Matsui having more runs and RBIs, but those are things you'd expect to see when comparing a player on a World Series team to a player on a mediocre team. Factor in that Berroa played SS while Matsui played LF and Berroa probably did belong on top. You also need to look at who should have won in those years that makes them such a bad pick.

Often the bad defenders make diving catches to catch balls that the better defenders get to with ease. Diving catches stand out more in your mind, leaving the impression that the guy diving all the time is the better fielder.
