After a debacle with their corner outfield spots in the 2015 season, the Orioles entered last offseason desperately looking for a solid everyday player to plug into right field.
They traded for Mark Trumbo before they had re-signed Chris Davis, an insurance move for first base. However, after Chris Davis signed his mega-contract, and especially after the Orioles signed Pedro Alvarez late in the offseason, the Orioles had nowhere else but right field to put Trumbo.
Trumbo logged 783 innings in right field in 2016. He logged more innings out there than the other eight O’s to play right field combined.
