In baseball, the outfield is key and since there are around 3 times as many outfielders, I will be dividing my breakdown on the outfield position into 3 blogs. Whether it be left, center, or right field, the outfield is full of talent in Major League Baseball. There are several types of outfielders, such as the power outfielders, the base stealing outfielders, the defensive outfielders, and the outfielders who are on the field as "fillers." All baseball parks have different outfield walls making it more difficult depending on the park, and if you are the away team. Just think about playing in Houston with the longest distance in center field, it would take a quick center fielder such as Michael Bourn to cover all that ground. But in places like Citi Field, you get the same thing. Ball parks can be dangerous in their layouts, bringing Michael Bourn back into this situation, look at his injury in 2007 because he tripped over a bullpen that is placed in the right field foul territory. Because of these differences, outfielders must always be on their game. Infielders really have no difference other than the grass layout around the pitchers mound, it must be easy. I really admire the outfield positions because of their ability to throw the ball home without difficulty. In regards to fantasy, that will be posted in the later blog because I realize that I did not post yesterday. But I do with all the outfielders luck in the 2011 season.
