We're just going to see how the guys react, and how they're playing. I don't think we can speculate right now if this guy is going to be in a platoon situation. We're going to just have to figure it out as we go along, because a lot of these players just don't have the Major League experience and they just don't have the track record of how they perform, left vs. left or right vs. right. You just don't have that right now in the big leagues.

There is going to be change just like every winter, ... Some of it will be by design. Some of it will be natural with guys graduating on to free agency. Some because we have young players who we think are ready to perform in the major leagues.
