Rickey played the outfield until he was 44 years old. Would a liability in the field have that kind of career in the era of the DH? I realize he played in the National League before the universal DH but he was still patrolling the field for Seattle and Boston.
He's second all time in put outs in Left Field and he's 19th all time in assists. Doesn't like a liability to me. Again, not Vlad but is that really the standard?
