I mean, I completely agree Dejesus is a competent CF'er and he should have been playing there last year, which is why I had to check B-R and make sure Gammons didn't mess that number up. But if they weren't willing to put Dejesus in CF this year, and already said they'd go with him in LF and a prospect in CF next year, why would I count him as the primary CF? And it's pretty undeniable Coco is a better hitter than the Joey Gathright etc. pupu-platter the Royals used/were planning on using.
