I don't think I have ever said to give them a job. In fact on many occasions I have brought up that I don't think it's a good idea to have both take over at the same time.

But, you also do not discount what they are doing in the minors. Both are putting together recent seasons that look like they could be solid at least options for quite some time. You don't just write them off in 2016 because you have two veterans with a longer history of mediocrity in the bigs.

If Espinosa and Escobar finish the year as well as they have begun and are both around, they absolutely deserve first shot at the spots. But if Turner or Difo step up in the spring, they also deserve the job. Whoever performs, gets the spots.
Unless you're name is "Ian Desmond"
