the 8th and 9th holes aren't looking too good. If they have the confidence Zimmer can man center (they probably do/should) might see Johnson and/or Luplow quite a bit more. Mercado is getting a day off tomorrow, unless he finishes the game on fire. Even then he I think he sits.
Small sample, of course, but Zimmer has not looked good or even comfortable in Center...much better in the corners. He will get other opportunities out of some necessity, but Mercado is clearly the best Center Fielder. No hits for Mercado but h had a few decent swings tonight.the 8th and 9th holes aren't looking too good.

It seems there is a perception that Allen is superior defender....not seen Johnson enough to have an opinion.I hope Domingo can find his groove, but he isn't looking so good the last couple of games. His swing doesn't seem as fluid to me, but that could just be me.
I would have rather seen Johnson than Allen. Oh well.
