Dan, you mentioned something a little earlier I wanted to get your take on as well.
Jesus Sanchez did not play yesterday.
Mike Burrows is a guy who lefties have been crushing.
And more goes into the lineup decisions than just the straight platoon advantage.

And, you know, you guys have touched on it a couple times, and I know Hazel talked about it yesterday on the broadcast.
You know, Mark Budzinski working with Jesus Sanchez defensively at a level that you don't normally see for a guy who's in, you know, well into his major league career.
There are a handful of offense-defense trade-offs the Jays are dealing with right now.
David Schneider is now a defensive replacement in left field sometimes.
Pignango gets optioned down again because of the
the defensive value, how much tension, I guess, do you think that puts on, you know, how they're trying to make the lineup card every day?
