McCutchen: 131 starts, 1,131.2 innings.
Polanco: 81 starts, 704.2 innings.
Marte: 57 starts, 512.1 innings.
Rodriguez: 6 starts, 63.1 innings.
Luplow: 6 starts, 60 innings.
Ortiz: 2 starts, 30.2 innings.
So from plausible* outfielders, we've had 283 starts, or 2.04 per game, and 2,502.2 innings, or 18 per game. So we've basically been an outfielder short at the start of each game, with no reserve (but I guess we already knew that).
*If Harrison is a plausible outfielder, then that's six more starts, which bumps it up to 2.08 per game.
So Marte and Polanco combined only played 84 more innings than Cutch.
That really hurt them this season.
Not Enough Outfielders
