Manny played right field in Cleveland. RF at Jacobs is a little easier than LF there, but he wasn't that good a fielder back then. He had a gun for an arm, but wasn't very good at getting to balls. Left in Fenway is tailor made for him. He'll be fine in LA. There just aren't many really good left fielders in baseball anymore. And the fans there won't notice when he flubs a ball or doesn't hustle.
