    i'm sorry this might be a dumb question, but i just dont really know who is going to be in our center field. i know that lee is in left and probably scott at right, would that mean maybe burke or hidalgo will play center field?

    I'd imagine Burke's going to be out there quite a bit.

    Doggy will log time in RF.but will probably play some center and left too.

    At this point, there's no guarantee Doggy will even make the team out of spring training.

    i agree...except flip #3 and #4. i'd rather have Berkman getting more AB's than Lee. and i think the whole point of the Lee signing was to give Berkman some protection.

    I know Doggy has to play his way on,but if he does,he will most likely see time at each OF spot.

    depending on how morgan starts out the season, they may flip flop him and luke, especially if morgan is off to a bad start

    I remember that Burke had rotator cuff problems on his throwing arm last season, is that fixed now?

    Yes; he had surgery in the first couple of weeks of the offseason to correct it permanently. Even so, he never had any issues with it after the first week of June, so it's not a huge concern.

    It was his left shoulder, iirc.

    oh ok. I could've sworn I heard something about him having a lingering injury that's hindering him from throwing the ball like he can. I'm probably wrong about it.
