Andrew McCutchen is ready to move to right field as a member of the San Francisco Giants.

McCutchen figures that the outfield is so big at AT&T Park that he'll still feel like a center fielder. After acquiring McCutchen from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Bruce Bochy spoke to incumbent Hunter Pence about making the move from right to left.

"I'm looking forward to right field. That's one place people can't pick on me, saying my defensive metrics are so bad," McCutchen said. "I know there's a lot of room out there to run. It's definitely going to be a reminder, almost like playing center. I've gotten to see Hunter Pence patrol out there quite a bit, so I'll be able to pick his brain quite a bit to learn where to play and how to play, all those things."

McCutchen, 31, is entering the final season of a $51.5 million, six-year contract he signed in March 2012.
