You'd want your more experienced outfielder in Center than you would in Right.

There is a good chance that francona will sit Ortiz, Lowell and Youk for one game each, as he did during interleague play. Youk will not go to right, where he has never played, Lowell will not play short, there will be no big changes, fortunately, Lowell, Youk and Papi are all hitting very well, so you aren't losing much with one over the other, Lowell may play all 3 just for defense, and Papi may sit one and be replaced in late innings in the others.
