Starter – Gerardo Parra
Backup – Cody Ross

Speaking of Gold Glove outfielders, Parra has two of them, from the 2011 season and the 2013 season. His .986 fielding percentage was right in line with the league average, but his 17 assists (15 from right field) were tops in the National League. It feels like Parra has been around a while, but he’s still just 26 years old.

Offensively, Parra makes good contact but isn’t much of a power threat. Last year, he set a career high with just 10 home runs. His .268 average was below his career average of .277 and his 10 stolen bases were offset by the fact he was caught 10 times.
