Indians, Tigers, Royals, Blue Jays, Marlins, and Orioles say Hi.

Eloy in LF, obviously not known for his defensive ability.

Leury, an infielder playing CF.

Palka, a DH playing RF.

That’s pretty bad.

Not as bad as those teams though.  Take a look for yourself.  

The AL Central is so comically bad.

Eloy, Robert, Harper....oh what could have been. 

Anyways - Eloy, Robert, Basabe will be really good in 2020 at some point with L. Gonzalez chomping at the bit. Jon Jay will be serviceable this season as a bandaid for FA failure.

 If Rutherford rakes this season I fully expect him to get packaged with some relievers and prospects for another starter.

Jay did not play much CF this spring.  15 innings in CF, 41 in RF, and 0 in LF.  

I don't think Jay is going to the the primary CF at any point this season like many of us expected.  Bad news for the Adam Engel haters, though I expect Leury to get 75% or so of the starts in CF to start the season.

It’s bad for both reasons.

I was looking at the whole picture but yes they are a negative defensively. This OF is actually better than what I was expecting. If you are not getting offense from your OF you will not win. Plus we can bring in defensive replacements in the third inning if needed.

Then you should change the statement in your initial comment as "one of the worst defensive outfields in baseball."

Can Eloy catch the ball? He's gonna be out there a lot of years. He's not a sieve out there is he? Is Palka as bad or worse than Avi?
