With Snyder signed, I believe he will be on the 25 so that the younger guys can play everyday.
If we don't do anything else, and say the rest is up to spring training competitions we are likely looking at
- T. Mo doing anything from, nothing at all to a straight platoon with Laroche - including late inning switches
- Danny backing up the other 3 infield spots
- Det is the 5th starter (yeah, I know there is a whole other thread about this)
- Ohlie, and either Roark or Cedeno in the pen, depending on if they want two lefties or not
While none of that is all that awfull, the one that bothers me the most is Danny. I had in the past been a big Danny guy, but not any longer. I'd prefer a guy that makes contact over the power, especially in that role.
The fact that they were looking at guys like Baker and Chavez tells me they are not against the idea of T. Mo using his last option this year as neither of those play middle infield, and adding them would have meant Moore was the odd man out.
I'd really like to see them sign both types - corner and middle infielders - allowing for Danny and Moore to both play everyday in the minors, but I don't think it will happen.
Side note - thinking through this with Danny and Moore, made think once again about how many mid 20's guys are coming up on their crap or get off the pot point in their carreers.
