It isn't like you'd be making Rasmus learn 3B, like Lind did (OF to 1B), as they are completely different positions. I don't think a shift from CF to LF is a major change, and something that could be ironed out over spring training. Is it a different read - sure. But everything else stays the same,
I think Gose should play CF. But part of me thinks change is never that good for Rasmus, seems to play better when things are the same as he's always been used to. Didn't hit well near the bottom half of the order so moved him up and he responded. Maybe you take away CF where you control the outfield and it poses some kind of mental block that affects his game. That's all just a theory, but I know management will get it right and the Jays should have a dominate outfield for years to come!
