Throughout the season I think Ruiz will backup or be splitting time with Marsee in center field. Same applies to Caissie and Morel in right field. Stowers will be our full time left fielder.

As for DH it all depends on how certain players perform. Early this season I expect Conine to get all the at bats against right handed pitchers and Hernandez the at bats against left handed pitchers. I’m excited to see what Conine will do with the majority of the at bats.

I would love to see Ruiz get some ABs in Miami. To me, he fits the profile for the developing team chemistry. Still, I figure there will have to be movement (trade, injury, relegation) for Ruiz to have a significant chance. Unless, of course, he rocks Spring Training!
