Lakeland, Fla. — Their lockers are on separate ends of the clubhouse. One is a 28-year-old journeyman from Venezuela with more than six years of big-league service time. The other is a 25-year-old from Georgia in just his second big-league camp with 11 big-league games under his belt.
One stands 5-foot-6, weighs 160 pounds and looks like he might be a dangerous kick returner or scat back. The other is 6-3, weighs 200 pounds and looks more like a tight end or wide receiver.
One has been through this before, the other is experiencing it for the first time.
