ramfandan wrote: ↑28 Feb 2026 10:08 am Well thus far , no projected starter is playing every day . More like every other day . Guess they want to see how Prieto looks. Appears to be uphill battle for an IF spot as Fermin and Urias would seem to be front runners .
Exactly

Oli has even stated this.
And, I'm sure its the same with every team. These guys are getting more work in at practice than they are getting 2 ABs and 4 innings on defense.
It is the same w/all teams.

You'd think people would understand this by now.
Yes, a lot of live batting practice on days they don’t play in actual game for the 2 at bats usually and 4 innings defense. On off day from gsmes thr also are on backfield doing defense drills.

It also cracks me up on how some are befuddled by lineup order.
The regulars are usually going to bat in top of lineup so they get their 2 plate appearances no later than 4th inning .
It’s not goth at complicated yet some question why is Oli batting player X here or there.
Some fans need a course. Spring Training 101

Regulars also always at the top of the spring lineup so they face (usually) major league pitchers as well, not some kid who won't be in MLB.

No Gorman at third? You’d think that if it were a gift wrapped position, he’d play it ever day.

No experiment.
