When I set out to preview the San Francisco Giants positions ahead of their April 8 opener against the Miami Marlins, I originally intended on previewing every position individually. You know, previewing left field, right field, and center field as three separate entities.
But that proved an impossible task.
Baseball is shifting away from set positions, and the Giants are at the forefront of that shift.
As such, they don’t have a left fielder, don’t have a right fielder, and don’t have a center fielder. Not just because they have numerous people who can play those positions, but because they have people who can play two or three of them, creating a dance routine that even the most accomplished TikTokers would struggle to learn.
