Should the Washington Nationals bring back Ian Desmond to play centerfield in 2017?
Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post thinks so. He argues Desmond is the right player to have in the outfield and Trea Turner should move to his natural position at shortstop. Where this leaves Danny Espinosa is a mystery, presumably either on the bench or out of town. After the first three games of the National League Divisional Series, out of town would be a landslide winner.
Desmond, now 31, played seven seasons with Washington before moving on last season in free agency.
