My only concern would be him continuing to fill out and not having the speed (certainly relative to other Sox prospects like Lin, Fuentes, etc.,)

However, Westmoreland apparently has really, really good speed and a good arm (before injury at least) so if he's going to go somewhere other than CF I would imagine it would be RF.
Look how much Ellsbury gets injured in center field. It's a pretty dangerous position if you think about it. I agree with you though, right field appears to be the more realistic option. Left field usually isn't a position that you fill within your farm system in my opinion. Especially somebody who has five tools potentially as Westmoreland does. I kind of see him being what people wanted J.D. Drew to be when he came up in the big leagues in right field.
