He'll be in left field, let there be no doubt. I think the question is can he back-up CF if needed.

He should have went for it but that doesn't mean he's fast. He's not. He should have went for it because Bumgarner was pitching and we weren't likely to get another hit. Those that were arguing that he should have went are saying that because you're hoping for a bad relay/throw home. He would have never made it on a good throw. You're hoping for a Hosmer dash for home in game 5 of the world series type play forcing a bad throw. We'll never know since he didn't try. I think that was a better shot at tying the game than relying on another hit, but who knows.
