What is the most consecutive years a specific position has had a different player start on Opening Day in MLB?

After Detroit Tiger Hall of Famer Al Kaline started his last Opening Day in Right Field in 1973, there were 10 consecutive seasons that different players were in Right Field on Opening Day. Are there longer strings than that of position instability?

Update:

I appreciate the information about the NY Mets string of centerfielders. I was not clear enough in my question. The 1974 to 1983 Detroit Tigers had 10 individual players each starting one Opening Day in Right Field. Is there a longer streak with more players starting only once?
