Hope it's unwarranted, but Bryson Stott is really starting to rise on my list of concerns.
Segura's hitting .294 this spring; I know he could be frustrating, but he was a real glue guy.

We could see a lot of Sosa if Stott struggles

Could surprisingly open a door for Kingery.

Welp. Different year, same Hoskins butchery at 1st. Catcher guns to 1st behind the runner. Ball bounces, Hoskins scoops, turns to tag and misses the runner.

The runner stumbles and falls off the bag, but he's able to get back because Hoskins turns his back on him and doesn't pay attention. He misses the chance to record an out. 2 pitches later, grand slam. Even of there's the HR, it's 5-5.

Dude is such a liability.

I did forget about Josh Harrison in all of this, too: We'll have three second basemen on the roster: Stott, Sosa, Harrison.

Harrison is a nice piece. Hope he goes North.

Yeah, I think Harrison is a lock.

Zolecki also says Darick Hall is a lock.

So a Hall/Sosa/Harrison bench leaves one spot open among these guys:

Kingery
Cave
Guthrie
Clemens

Kingery would have to be added to the 40-man and would likely benefit from everyday play at AAA to see if his improvements are sustainable. So maybe Guthrie is the leader by default?

Team doesn't appear terribly comfortable with the idea that Kingery, Sosa and Guthrie are the only options for CF behind Marsh
