I was in the same corner through the off season. Then, was utterly astounded at the Sano to the OF announcement. I'm not going to rehash that stuff, but I was also in the camp of 'well, if you're going to be gacking up RF anyway, why not put the vet out there, as he's been before, and leave your budding young slugger at his familiar position, and not make him try to do an extra major thing in his first full season?' I mean, if you're going to totally surrender your RF flank anyway, why the heck would you.... oh, never mind. So now we see the fruits of that 'thinking' process. And yep, as you said, Molly just sticks him out there in the 4 or 5 time and again, for no other reason than, well, he's a vet, ain't he?
