Amed Rosario DOES have a position: 4th on our Cleveland MVP Countdown

True or False: Amed Rosario played on Opening Day in 2021 for Cleveland.

ANSWER: TRUE.

The infielder* acquired in the Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco deal with the Mets pinch-hit in the bottom of the ninth inning and reached on an infield single. I asked because I could not recall if he began the season as the starting center fielder or not. Technically, the honor fell to Jordan Luplow.

At the time, Terry Francona planned to deploy Rosario in center field to begin the year. Shortstops moving to center field is not unprecedented — Oscar Mercado used to be a shortstop, for example.
