Congratulations, Mookie Betts! Your prize for being one of the most dynamic outfielders in the 2015 season is to get moved to right field. Didn’t you hear? Jackie Bradley Jr. is going to be the next center fielder for the Boston Red Sox in 2016, according to manager John Farrell. What should Red Sox Nation make of this move? What should Betts think?
Arguably, Betts deserved to be in the 2015 All-Star Game because of his level of play. However, Farrell believes that the highlight-reel catches that Betts made are not enough evidence to keep Betts in center, compared to Bradley Jr.
