I don't know if this has already been discussed or not but who do y'all think should take over as the permanent starter in left field? Obviously Stevenson and Laird will be mainstays in center and right, respectively, but its tough to say who will be the everyday guy in left.

Foster has played really well to this point and he's made clutch plays for us in the past. Obviously Fraley has all the tools but he's struggled a little bit thus far. Is it too early to say who takes over as the starter?

Either way, it's a good problem to have when you're having to decide between two very talented players.

Manieri will play the match ups with Fraley and Jared

Personally, I think we should take a chance and put Laird in Left and Foster/Fraley in RF. Laird has the weakest arm but has great range. Foster has a cannon and that's huge in RF. I will keep saying this until it happens IT JUST MAKES SENSE, frick

Fraley is the long term answer. Foster is the short term answer. Foster is playing better right now so let him play LF.

If Foster doesn't start in left then he should DH; I like him a lot more than Chinea.

I would say Fraley is my favorite player on the team this year, but his bat is coming around too slow..
Yes it's early, but if Foster is gonna take up Fraley's slack at the plate, then you have to go with Foster.
I see their defense as pretty even.

I would imagine unless one of them goes into a prolonged slump or has fielding issues that they'll platoon depending on the pitching matchup.
