Erick Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I don't mind it. With Stanton out, he's trying to figure out a way to score some runs and this is probably the best way to do it against RHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 We need to hope no one hits it to RF. If Jones looks like an armless, legless infant playing 1B, imagine how he'll look in the outfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not like Jones hasn't played the OF a bunch in his career, he can't hurt us much in Citizens Bank Park... Now, at Marlins Park, different story.

Eddie Altamonte Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Jones is a natural outfielder he is in his comfort zone out there, although I would have put Ozuna in RF and moved Yelich to CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Jones is a natural outfielder he is in his comfort zone out there, although I would have put Ozuna in RF and moved Yelich to CF Why would you move the two best OFers on the team out of position? Also, Jones has his most games played 1B and RF. So you be moving him out of position, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Altamonte Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Jones is an outfielder. Yelich and Ozuna are not out of position in CF and RF, they may not have played there much this season , it doesn't mean that would be out of position, if they filled in there. In fact Ozuna is more of a natural RF, and Yelich can cover a hell lot of ground in CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Jones is an outfielder. Yelich and Ozuna are not out of position in CF and RF, they may not have played there much this season , it doesn't mean that would be out of position, if they filled in there. In fact Ozuna is more of a natural RF, and Yelich can cover a hell lot of ground in CF. Considering that Yelich and Ozuna are now playing LF and CF, have been all season, and will be for years to come (barring unforseen circumstances), they would be out of position if you shift them right. Not to mention they are two of the best defensive LF and CFers in baseball this season, why mess with a good thing? Consider all that, and consider that Jones has played 277 games as a RFer and all of 21 in LF... You get the configuration that Red correctly went with last night. One of the minor reasons Jones was signed here is the fact that he can step into RF if GCMS suffered another DL stint this year, if you recall.

Michael Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 You know what I do care about? DD not getting playing time. He never even got called up, as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
