We know their defense is not going to be good this year.

especially in the outfield, with how things are shaping up.

Reynolds, O'Hearn, Cruz.

But I don't want to keep changing the position of a guy that I don't want to say shouldn't be messed with, but let's just cool the waters there.

Calm the waters.

Because...

O'Neal Cruz, who has some pressure off his shoulders.

We've talked about that throughout this week.

When it comes to the offensive side of the game, he's got pressure off.

He doesn't have to be the most explosive or best player in the lineup.

And I think that will benefit him.

I don't want to throw another wrench into that of, hey, by the way, O'Neal, we're going to move you to third base now and have you play there.

Your time in center field is done.

I don't know.

Am I crazy there, Austin?

Am I crazy to think...

Why in the world would we switch the guy's position again?

Yeah, I don't want to give a player like that more headaches than we need.

And you're right, it would look a lot like the throws that we got from Pedro Alvarez about 10 years ago that would go about 15 rows into the stands.

So if you want a souvenir from one of the pirates in the field, yeah, then maybe we can move O'Neal Cruz to third base.
