Don't less balls go into RF which is why you would put the weakest arm individual over there?
Either way, laird and Stevenson are by far the best defensive outfielders. Marks arm hasn't hurt us any the last 2 years. No reason to worry about it now.
I do agree foster has a cannon though

It's the longest throws consistently. You're never trying to throw a guy out at 1st, but are at 3rd and home. RF needs to have a strong arm. If Laird is the 2nd best fielder, don't more balls go there? Seems like it'd be a perfect fit to me.
ETA: Our arms have somewhat hurt us. Didn't we get all of 2 assists from the outfielders last season? That's pretty bad. Foster is not a bad fielder at all and I'm sure hitting was the reason he wasn't seeing the field last year.

He has to make the longest throw to 3rd. Your weakest arm goes in left. RF is the hardest OF position to play. The easiest OF position to play is LF.
The weak player in RF mentality comes from youth leagues.

strongest arm = right field typically

No, most managers put the least rangy outfielder in right (Look at BC), which generally coincides with a strong arm. It's kind of puzzling why Laird is in right TBH.

No, it doesn't. It comes from there being fewer left handed batters at every level of baseball.
