Arizona Diamondbacks contemplate swapping David Peralta and Yasmany Tomas

As mentioned in yesterday's Snake Bytes, the team are contemplating swapping our left- and right-fielders. What's the purpose, and will it work?

Left field is generally regarded as being the less taxing defensive position: on the defensive spectrum, the only position rated easier is first base [well, and DH - but this is the National League, so we will not speak of it again]. Right field is next to it; the main thing they have to do, which left fielders don't, is throw across the park when runners try to go from first to third on a single.
