Pete Mackanin continues to baffle Phillies fans with lineups and game decisions that make little to no sense. His latest move playing Gold Glove candidate Freddy Galvis in center field just takes the cake.
With prospect J.P. Crawford expected to join the team in September, the Phillies have experimented by playing many players in varying positions. Crawford has gotten time at third and second in the minors, and second base prospect Scott Kingery has played third and short as well.
I’m all for having versatile players, in particular on a team with more questions than answers. But playing Galvis in center field makes little to no sense.
