Having played Centerfield through college, I can attest to the fact that it is the easiest defensive outfield position to play provided you have 'outfield speed'. Speed is a relative term when it comes to the outfielders...I've seen some really 'fast' people that cannot read a ball off of a bat and have been terrible outfielders as a result, but others who don't have great speed but can get a beat on the ball are good outfielders. Ideally you want your centerfielder to have both. What I've seen of Braun so far in left is that he can cover some ground when he makes his decision on the ball, but is slow to do that. That is typical of people who lack experience in the outfield. My thought for next year is that Braun will stay in left, Hart will shift to center, and LaPorta will be the RF. All goes out the window if Prince is dealt for the arm that they will need for the rotation if Sheets walks at year's end.
