Well, it seems part of the infield mystery is solved ? DLC is gonna be our SS, at least early on. And it seems McClain to 2nd. I read an article a few days ago saying India will probably be tried in the outfield a bit. And the word is Steer is going to LF. With Friedl in CF where does that leave Benson and Fraley any room in OF ?

I guess Marte, CES, and Candelario will be the 1st and 3rd rotation? And we've still got a couple guys in the minors that our knocking on the big league door.

I guess it will all figure itself out ?

Benson and Fraley are left handed hitters with horrendous splits against left handed pitching, so they'll be strictly platoon players. RF could be Fraley/India and LF could be Steer/Benson and that would leave the infield and DH to be composed of Candelario, CES, McClain, Elly and Marte.
