Yeah, but what does it mean? lol
Is Casilla anything more than the backup 2B/SS heading into ST? I do believe he gets first crack at the job if BRob looks awful this spring or gets hurt.

What do you mean by afterthought. I think you have to listen to both Buck and Duquette and put 2+2 together. It's true, I haven't seen Duquette talk much about BRob while Showalter says good things about him like he's going to be the 2B. If Duquette doesn't cut Roberts then I'm pretty sure Buck starts Roberts to start the season. You think it's already a foregone conclusion in Duquette's mind that Roberts isn't heading north with the team?

I would expect Buck to say good things about BRob.
Now, I do believe if BRob is healthy, that he is the second baseman on OD but I think DD is writing him off as a productive everyday player.

Yeah, I'm not sure where, but I think Nolan will have a shot to get reg ABs out of the gate if he performs well in ST.No problem. We have a clear fundamental difference here. Showalter's comments carry more weight with me. I think Reimold has the oppurtunity in the spring to show that he's healthy and swinging the bat well. IF he does, I think he has a starting job either in LF or at DH. I previously thought LF was McLouth's to lose but I no longer feel that way.
