Well, Stearns was asked about it the other day and sounded like it could go either way. This was my issue with the Walker signing. I didn't want to see Villar rotting away on the bench right as things were finally clicking for him . Which is exactly what was happening up until a day or two ago. I am not too concerned about this. Villar has been bad all season long and earned a spot on the bench. However, Counsel manages with this "position player core" or whatever its called and everyone gets playing time. If Villar performs and proves that he is once again worthy of starting, they will find ways to get him into the lineup. If not, then Walker seems to be a much better alternative for the remainder of this season.
