Roman Quinn. Fast outfielder. Defensive liability. Mediocre batter. Starting centerfielder? Yup, you heard that right.
In just under three weeks, the Phillies will take the field against the Atlanta Braves in front of 8,800 fans, and the season will begin anew. On that day, it will be Roman Quinn starting in centerfield for the Phillies. That is right, the same Roman Quinn that is constantly crashing into walls, getting injured, and making poor baserunning decisions will get the job. While many fans will be surprised by this, here is why Roman Quinn will (inevitably) win the starting centerfield job.
