There's going to be a battle for the starting center field spot between Morgan and Nate McLouth. Knowing that he'll be in the spotlight during Spring Training doesn't bother Pirates outfielder Nyjer Morgan. The center field job being the only position to be determined primarily based on Spring Training. And now, not only is Morgan competing against a player that Pirates' management has praised as being a "complete baseball player," but Morgan is competing against his biggest mentor. Right now, they are just a stop-gap for Centerfielder incumbent Andrew McCutchen. Nyjer spent some time this year in the Arizona Fall League and played some left field, while Andrew played center. The only drawback with carrying both Nyjer and Nate, is who will give us more power, and power to the alleys?
