How's Vlad in right field?

[zephyr]

Sounds like he's going to start out there in Games 1 and 2.

[Pauulzcappin]

Hes AWFUL. But a needed bat, regardless of his slumps.

[thebestthereis]

not a good park to be playing right field

[smitch124]

Right Field is extremely tough at AT&T, but for a game or two you can sometimes avoid it being a factor to stick a DH out there.

[demarino]

not much worse than burrell in left. haha.

SF will have little edge if they can some how hit the ball to the right.

[HoulihansTX]

Vlads got a cannon for an arm.

Pat Burrell plays the outfield for Giants, so it aint that bad.

Vlad has great arm. but i can't imagine he chasing the ball around. if he caught fly ball, SF runner probably won't advance. if the ball pass by him, for a low score game, runner should be aggressive. just my 2 cent.

with lee pitching, maybe there won't be too many ball hit to outfield ...

[thebestthereis]

If San Fran has their righty lineup in, which I suspect, they better be looking to hit to right or they have zero chance against Lee.

This is what I'm thinking.

He is certainly not great, but actually played a few games out there this year.

There is a vast difference between left field and right field at AT&T park. Burrell is helped by a CF who is fast, has range and athleticism, and KNOWS the park and where/how to play it. Guerrero, who would otherwise qualify as a water buffalo, will be a severe liability. And, in games where very, very few runs will be scored, defensive liabilities can lose a series. See: ATL-SF series, PHI-SF series, and remember that's why Panda is on the bench.
