In an effort to keep his team healthy and strong in 2017, Terry Collins told WLIE 540 AM that he plans to take a book out of Joe Maddon's 2016 playbook with the World Champion Cubs...
"The one thing we learned last year is that we've got to keep our guys healthy and one way to keep them healthy is to get them rest," Collins explained. "So, we're going to mix and match as best we can and give guys one, maybe two days a week off to keep them healthy."
In particular, Collins noted how Jose Reyes and Wilmer Flores will see lots of playing time at different positions each week, similar to the way Maddon used super-utility man Ben Zobrist.
