I really wonder why Bixler is in left. Bixler is an infielder and has played mostly at third, and the Nats have Hairston starting tonight at third, but hairston can play the outfield. I understand wanting to load the batting order with righties, but why put a guy that can only play the infield in the outfield and leave the guy that can play the outfield in the infield. Switching Hairston to left and Bixler to 3B wouldn't effect the line-up.
