I don't think that's true. he wasn't that great in center.
in 2007 he played 155 games in center field he had a 0.8 dWAR. The year before and the year after he had a 1.0 and a 0.9 dWAR respectively playing primarily in right field.
All that says is his defensive value was about equal.
It's the positional adjustment that gains CF extra value, not their defense.
Yup. Playing CF has huge value relative to the Corners. If Julio was in RF he would like be a 3-4 WAR player.

Willie Mays had six 10-WAR seasons and three 9-WAR seasons whereas Hank Aaron had one 9-WAR season despite winning three Gold Gloves. Tells you all you need to know.
