I guess I distinguish "bench player", a bad thing for a kid, and "platoon player", a good way to acclimate a kid to the big leagues, at least in my mind.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('25219','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('25219','Rich','Fair point.

There has got to be a reason why Mench was DFA'ed. Why mess with another veteran cast off? Let's start a trend of giving the young guys a shot when appropriate. Plus, there's no defending Gomez's speed, and he wins hands down over Mench in the OF.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('25174','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('25174','Rich','Steve,\r\n\r\nWhile I\'d love the headline, too, let\'s have the right side of RF be Gomez (hopefully, he\'ll be here).
