I think that's one of the things you'd have to look for us is who is your best center fielder.
You have all those guys if they're on your team.
Crawford can play left or center.
Bader can play left or center.
He's been exceptional in center field.
Marsh can play both.
He's probably played better.
He's been fine in center, but he's been a little bit better in left.
I don't know which roles they would play to be dependent upon who made the club at a particular time.
On the infield side, you talked about some stability there.
With Bryson Stott, it's been now several years where he's really struggled to hit lefties, and obviously that came up in a big spot.
Do you see him as your everyday second baseman going forward, or is that a potential spot to work in, and Aiden Miller in addition to, obviously, Sosa, who did so much for you this year?
Well, Miller, I guess, could eventually play second, but Miller's coming up here.
He's going to be an everyday player at the beginning of his career here.
We're not going to bring him up and not play the majority of time.
I mean, Bryson Stott's a really good player.
He has not hit left-handed pitching as well as we'd like at times, but he has at other times.
So it's just, I think it's almost a misnomer when you say somebody's an everyday player nowadays.
When you look around Major League Baseball, it's a 162-game grueling schedule, really, when you start traveling and start doing everything.
So there are very few players that play just every single day unless you're stars.
