We'd have some wide gaps in left/right center.


Much like BJ's strike zone.

Congrats, you found the only 2 black dudes in MLB who can't play CF.


Are you saying Prince Fielder can play center field?

That seems like a broad opinion

It would be
LF Gattis
CF Heyward
RF J. Upton

Both the corners get much, much worse and I doubt Heyward would be as good as BJ out in CF, especially if he is learning on the fly.

Plus expecting Heyward to help with Gattis in left at the same time.

BJ Upton's OPS is sub .500. He better be covering CF like Usain Bolt.

Are you shitting me that J-Up or JHey can't play CF?




You know statistical analysis have proven that defense is only 5% of a baseball game.

It's the only one I could find of Lance Berkman playing CF and making a catch on Towel's Hill.

And I should have put this disclaimer in my other post, I could give a shite what the Braves do. But to say that JUpton or JHey can't play CF is not true.

I would love to see Sabathia cover center field.

Honestly, I like him better as a PH. McCann is more consistent and Gattis is exactly what you look for a big moment PH. Case and point, tonight
