Washington Nationals: Michael Taylor Should Start in Centerfield

The Washington Nationals centerfield position is up for grabs this spring, and it seems like just about everyone would say they want 21-year-old phenom Victor Robles to win the job.

Robles is the number four prospect in all of Major League Baseball according to MLB.com.

After battling a wrist injury for much of the 2018 season, Robles got called up to the big leagues towards the end of the year and showed signs of his rare combination of power and speed.

All signs pointed to Robles being the Nationals centerfielder for the next decade, and after the departure of Bryce Harper it seemed like a given that it was his time.
