Mets considering using Amed Rosario in center field, and here's why it could make sense

The Mets considered having prized shortstop Amed Rosario get work in center field last summer.

However, despite the need in center field last season, Rosario did zero work in the outfield. And he didn't see any work there this Spring Training either.

But here we are again, with manager Mickey Callaway saying earlier this week that the team is again considering Rosario in the outfield.

This summer, Lagares, Conforto, and Jeff McNeil have mostly patrolled the outfield, while Brandon Nimmo has been injured. However, this year's struggle for outfield consistency comes at a time when Rosario's struggles in the infield have gotten worse than the year before.
