It's just that everything about him screams RF or even CF. And he's not by any stretch a great SS. Put McClain back at SS.

How much "practice" would he be able to get in RF though this year?
From my understanding, there's really just BP and that's it day to day, except for maybe the occasional off days?
They could try shifting him to RF late in games if the Reds are like 5+ runs up in the 8th or something, but I can't imagine there would be much more opportunity outside of games to practice learning OF.
Am I wrong? I've only ever played rec softball as an adult before, not organized baseball growing up, so I legit don't know.
