Pirates Shift

The Pirates will rearrange their outfielders for 2017:

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle announced Sunday that McCutchen is moving from center field to right field this season. Gregory Polanco will flip from right field to left, with Starling Marte sliding over from left to center.

Mathematically, it’s new position = ((position – 6) mod 3) + 7.

Usually I think of the leftfielder as being the weakest outfielder, except somewhere like Yankee Stadium where leftfield is huge. I guess this wasn’t the case in Pittsburgh.
