What? Center? This is the worst outfield in baseball. Maybe in baseball history.

If they play Almora in CF and decide to play Heyward (God knows I don't like him as a hitter) in RF, that is 2/3 of the outfield that is exceptional defensively. I concede that Schwarber is never going to be lauded for his defensive prowess, but he's hitting well so far, so he will likely keep playing. But if they could trade both Schwarber and Haap to an American league team for an outfielder who was a complete player that could bat leadoff well and steal bases, I would not object to that. A guy like Charlie Blackmon of the Rockies would be great.
