Cincinnati Reds: Why are fans upset with Nick Senzel playing center field?

Just a few days ago, Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer stated that the Cincinnati Reds were planning to keep Nick Senzel in center field heading into the 2020 season. While I’m perfectly content with the idea of last year’s rookie playing center field, plenty of fans throughout Reds Country don’t like it.

Let’s put aside the injury concerns for a moment. Some people refer to Senzel as “injury prone”, which I think is unfair. Yes, he finished last season on the injured list, but after having surgery to repair a torn labrum, it appears that Senzel is about ready to rejoin his teammates on the field this coming week.
