Does it give Hinch an opportunity to look at some other players in the spring?
"Well, it more forces me to," Hinch said. "I'd like to have all of our team here, but I'm happy that those guys get to go and experience a little unique time.
"I'll miss having those guys around and certainly it provides an opportunity for some of the guys. We'll see how long each guy is gone, but it may force me to play a few people out of position."
Hinch said that Tyler White would see time at both second and third base, and that Colin Moran may play a game at shortstop.
