Jeimer Candelario has been my choice for a while now so no reason to change. He is even looking good in Spring Training. Is he 3B/1B only? Or could he play LF? He seems like a decent choice if we need to call someone up in an injury/emergency type situation. If he can't play the OF though he may not be the best fit. Really like his bat.

If he can play 3B, he can play LF. And in the unlikely event that so many of our awesome outfielders get hurt that this is even a conversation, Bryant can back up LF, or Zob can play left while Baez plays second. The scenarios in which we are concerned about whether Candelario can play LF this year include: the team plane crashes, an unusually strong June hurricane turns Marlins park into an Atlantis type underwater dome during the Cubs' game there, Hinske decides that the mayonnaise from last year is ok for the outfielders meeting sandwiches. That's the list.
