Smells like VICTORY…

absolutely pathetic!

Yeah right
It’s not like CF is generating some pop to help make up for the lack thereof out of the corner spots.

Please educate me. Why is power from the outfield corners more important than power elsewhere?
Is it because usually players in the outfield are not known for their defense, so that’s why they’re outfielders…? And offense is all they’re really known for?
Power in the corners, defense up the middle.

Or for the Cubs
Power from first base Lee, defense on the bench with Blanco.
Say this much for big league baseball - it is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America. ~Bruce Catton
Corner outfield spots
are just spots in your lineup that you count on power out of. Same with 1B and 3B. CF, 2B and SS are generally played by the more defensive-minded players who may provide you with more speed and hit for a higher average.
