Does outfield alignment matter?
Dave is asking if it really makes a difference if you put the better fielder in the corner, and the worse fielder in center. It really depends how big the gap between your fielders are naturally. I think it's sufficient that anything other than somewhat close fielders should have the better fielder in CF, and let the other guy set his ego aside.
To me, Trout/Boujos is more interesting, as it reminded me of Beltran/Cameron. In the Mets case, Beltran was there for the long haul, while Cameron was not. So, even if you wanted to argue that Cameron was the better fielder, I'd argue for Beltran in CF because you don't want your mainstay to be swapping positions every year.
