We are suppose to be changing this year from OF, OF, OF to RF, CF, LF.
Is that something we are still on board for this year or should we delay it til 2016?
Personally I am still on board with this being a 2015 change.
With a flux of new GMs we are going to do a new poll.

I don't really get why teams are okay with 3 OF it lacks strategy IMO.

I'm of the opinion that if MLB teams have the freedom to move OF's around from game to game with their 25 man roster, we should too.

I feel the same. No team would ever play with 2 OF's in a real game because their other OF's hadn't played enough games in their career at CF. In fact teams are more regularly throwing anyone and everyone in the OF. HanRam will probably be an opening day starting OF in Boston with 0 games experience and Wil Myers will likely be patrolling CF, something he's really only ever done in the minors.
A LF can always play RF in real life. Why should we be hamstrung just because his MLB team has no need to put in him RF to build up his eligibility.

Actually most LFers can't play RF b/c most LFers have noodle arms where RFs have rifles.

I would rather have some strategy to FA and Trades rather than just being able to have the 3 Best OFers but that seems to be the opinion of the minority so far.

If said MLB teams move said player between positions, then that player will have eligibility at multiple outfield positions. I'm sure we would all like to fill the 2b slot with a SS or 1b with a 3b but we don't have random infield slots, I like the added strategy. But just as infielders, a large portion of outfielders only play one of the positions.
On the other hand, because we don't include defense in our stats, it is a bit of a downfall to have a speedy, defensive CF, but I'm sure every MLB team would like the problem of 3 offensive minded, defensive skilled OFs

Only 14 votes on a major topic is not good.

Hard to make a change in the designations when so many owners have set up their clubs with OF designation in mind. If there is going to be a change it should allow for GMs to work on adjusting their outfield configurations to a new format -- 2016 at the earliest.

While I disagree with sticking with OF OF OF over RF CF LF this will be tabled for 2015 and possibly for the future.
