March 4, 20206 yr https://www.mlb.com/marlins/news/matt-joyce-projects-to-spend-time-in-right-field If Jonathan Villar is the everyday CF then Brian Anderson is the third baseman, therefore right field is the only open outfield spot. Mattingly looks to be leaning towards Matt Joyce there, although I'd imagine he's more of a platoon guy along with one of Cooper, Ramirez, or Brinson. Kemp and Sierra are in the mix but if they make the team it's more as bench options. Harrison and Sanchez are unlikely to start the year in the majors anyways. And Berti is pretty much guaranteed a spot but he's more of a utility guy who will play the infield often. So how do you think our outfield will look come Opening Day? What's the best possible configuration?
March 4, 20206 yr Guys, we're talking about a team managed by Don Mattingly. Matt Kemp is 100% on the team, and there's a non-zero chance that Jose Urena starts in right field on Opening Day.
March 5, 20206 yr Cooper/Joyce platoon Cooper/Joyce/Kemp/Berti/Brinson/Sierra/Harold Never the same player more than once a week. Mattingly on the forefront of #analytics with this one!
