Here in the final week of spring training, decisions abound for manager Torey Lovullo of the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is the time where Lovullo huddles with the decision-makers and brain powers of the organization to finalize the 25-man roster, create defensive shifts, organize bullpen rotation and a plethora of other evaluations.
While a definite amount of discussion this spring centered around how Lovullo will populate his bullpen, composition of the bench remains equally critical. Before Sunday’s game with Cleveland at Salt River, Lovullo told Venom Strikes that the shortstop job remains undecided, and that represents a critical judgment in the overall process.
