I just don't think they're going to do that. Murphy pretty clearly sees him as a clubhouse leader whether he's productive at the plate or not. Assuming they want Lara playing every day it may take an actual injury (not a "you seem injured" injury) before he gets the call. Otherwise he'd come up to take Perkins spot, for example and play maybe twice a week We'll see I guess, but I'll be surprised if the team that gave Ortiz a full season last year pulls the plug on Frelick in late May or early June.
