Why Braun in LF, Hart in RF?

Sorry if this has been hashed out before, but is there any particular reason Braun's in LF and Hart's in RF, instead of vice versa?  By my account Braun has the stronger arm, and it seems that his plus range and low error rate would be a better fit for RF where uncaught balls and mistakes are magnified.

I could be completely wrong with my assessment of Ryan's defense, or I could be missing something obvious.  Ryan's inexperienced, and Corey's plenty fast too, so the answer could just be "it wouldn't make much of a difference".

It probably has more to do with Hart already being in RF when Braun was moved to the OF. I don’t think the team had any interest in having two players learn new positions especially when at the time they moved Braun no one new if he was even going to be an ok outfielder and Corey Hart was considered by a lot of people to be a pretty good Right Fielder.

Yeah, as TD says...

inertia played a part. LF was open, so that’s where Ryan moved.

That said, there’s been plenty of speculation regarding the post-Cameron era that Hart could move to center, Braun to right, then Gamel/free agent/Max Walla/Bum Ho Lee could play left.

Also, cheese.

Is Bum Ho Lee Korean?
