I can't comment too much on this .. but I do remember Perez talking one night with Sophia or the booth or someone and the line of questioning was how he prepares each day not knowing where he is going to play the next day (position wise) and he said something along the lines that he is told the day before if he will be starting so he knows what position, etc. Now I'm sure that stuff changes based on injuries, hot streaks, etc ... but it sounded like Counsell preps those guys who are constantly shuffling a little bit and they know when they will be off? They have been operating this way for some time now. I think the players know full well how CC operates and know better than to take it personally when the line up comes out (or when they are told ahead what the line up will be). They all get AB's one way or another and seem to be very cognizant that they are a team that relies on all of its parts and pieces.
