Fuld will platoon in center field with Craig Gentry, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis:
Fuld and Gentry are now set to patrol center field with Coco Crisp making the move to left field. As a left-handed hitter, Fuld is on the strong side of the platoon, but will need to improve upon his .210 average from 2014 to stick in the lineup against all righties. If he can hit enough to stay in the platoon, his steals could have some value in deeper leagues as he swiped eight bags in only 157 at-bats in 2014.
