There's really not a lot of places that Council's going to start other players.

It's just, that's the way it is, and

I think you were looking at giving Council's bench a chance with another right-handed guy that had some pop.

If you were going to start pinch hitting for Ballesteros or someone else left-handed in the lineup, that's why he's here, and that's how he's used them.

He's used them as a pinch hitter.

He started, I think, once, and that's what you're going to continue to see.

Yeah, Johnny's a great guy.

I would say you'd have to know exactly who the people are that you're giving up.

I thought the Cubs had two really good hitters in the minor leagues in camp.

One of them is here now in Ramirez, and the other one was Rojas.

Those two guys really looked good in camp.

And because of that, one has made it out of AAA and got called up.

And the other one, I don't know if he's going to be a shortstop in Lopez, but he can hit.

I mean, he can really hit.

And hit for power.

He's a big, strong kid and a shortstop.

So those are the two guys that stand out to me also that were in camp.

But I think...

I think you set this team up to win now.

When you built this team, this team is about winning now and in the next few years.
