Contract extension is coming because you don't want to give up the service time.

Yeah, I'd be surprised tomorrow if he's anywhere above sixth in the lineup tomorrow.

I would guess maybe even lower.

You have a righty throwing tomorrow.

So you're going to put these up to the top.

You're going to want Lau.

You're going to want O'Hearn in those better spots.

Probably sandwiched between two of the lefties.

I don't know where.

But I just think it just makes sense.

I think that's where he batted most of the spring was in that 6-7 hole.

So I think he could be 6-7-8, somewhere in there.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was down at 8th even.

But take a little bit of pressure off him, even though I don't know how you take pressure off him.

He's the number one prospect.

Pittsburgh is counting on him to bring him a championship and everything else.

So the pressure is going to be on whether you bat him first, third, or whatever.

I agree with you, though.

First looks like an excellent spot with him with the combination of power and speed.

Unless he's this unbelievable RBI producer, run producer, that you might want to drop him a little bit into one of those other spots.
