Baseball Time in Arlington is not happy with Vladimir Guerrero continuing in rightfield.

Regarding the Guerrero problem specifically, Ron Washington indicated after Game 1 that he was planning to consign a starting outfield spot to Guerrero yet again in Game 2. Against a right-hander. In the outfield. At a challenging ballpark. In the outfield. It had been so long since I had intently watched Guerrero in right field that I had almost forgotten what it looked like, and I believe this fuzziness contributed to my apathy towards the Guerrero vs. Murphy argument in recent days — but no more of that. This should end. It won’t, but it should. I won’t say that it cost the Rangers Game 1, but employing a suboptimal outfield defense and leaving your platoon-advantage card in the deck doesn’t seem terribly conducive to maximizing your chances of winning Game 2.

Of course, Vlad will be a little less rusty in game two. 🙂
