Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

NL Outfield Starters

Since Ibanez is likely to play if he gets a few starts in against the Pirates this series, I have a question about positions. All indications I've read everywhere read that Ryan Braun will start in left field. Since Ibanez and Braun are both left fielders, shouldn't the one with more votes start at his actual position (i.e. Ibanez) ??? Or is this a seniority thing where Braun has more ASG appearances (although Raul is 12 years his senior...) so Braun's experience allows him to pick? 

 

Any insight would be helpful here guys, Thanks

I think you’d have to consider athleticism and ability first and foremost. Braun is a plus left fielder, so I imagine he’d make the transition to right field more easily.
