Interesting AA alignment in the OF tonight. Anthony Garcia in cf – Mercado in LF – Arozarena in RF.

Wonder if showcasing for scouts. Mercado got turned around in left and recovered to make a jumping catch at the wall his spikes got stuck for a brief moment in the chain fence and had a Spider-Man moment against the wall.

Hudson was very impressive tonight.

Just part of diversification, I suspect.

Mercado has played in LF for seven games this season. All the rest in center.
Garcia was about half and half in left/right. This was his first game in CF. He seems least likely to be showcased at this point in his career.
Arozarena: 57 games in left, 15 each in center and right.

Garcia would have to be the one they are trying to determine his versatility on. The other two are easily able to cover any of the three positions. Maybe Mercado is the next man up in LF if needed in AAA.
