re: Mainieri debating on changing the outfield again

Stevenson & Laird clearly field better.
McMullen & Foster clearly hit better.
It's a dilemma. Normally I would say just go with the better hitters, but lately I've seen that it really does make a huge defensive difference out there, so, whaddya gonna do?
My inclination would probably be to platoon Stevenson & Laird in CF, play McMullen in RF, and put Foster at DH, but at this point it looks like a fluid situation. Stevenson or Laird might be able to hit his way into the lineup, and if Foster goes into a slump, he might be able to hit his way out of the lineup.
It certainly looks like Moore's time at DH will get cut down some, given that he has to compete against 2 guys now (McMullen & Foster) who have pretty hot bats.

Although Stevenson is an elite outfielder, he cannot hit his way out of a paper bag. His ABs are awful.

The only problem with is that you would have a couple games where Laird is in CF and McMullen is in RF, which is exactly what it sounds like Mainieri is trying to avoid.

I thought McMullen was not as good of a fielder as Foster. I guess I'm wrong..?? I just wasn't impressed by McMullen in right field at all.. but he sure can hit.
