When the Dodgers signed A.J. Pollock in the offseason, they had hoped he could man centerfield over the next few seasons in order to ask less of Cody Bellinger. Bellinger played centerfield last season but in the postseason he shined in right field, including an amazing catch in game four of the National League Championship Series.
This season, Bellinger has shifted between first base and right field with right field being his primary position. He has shined out in right, becoming one of the favorites for a National League gold glove award. The problem is that A.J. Pollock has become a liability in centerfield.
