Christian Guzman is the ordsprog

Christian Guzman is the shortstop here. The way he plays here in spring training determines whether we make the switch from him to Royce Clayton or someone else to open the season.

We can't watch what we watched all last year at shortstop. If Guzman plays like he did last year, [Clayton] gives us a viable option. Guzman is our starting shortstop. This gives Clayton an opportunity to compete with Guzman.

[Giant shortstop Royce Clayton is just as admiring.] I've never seen anyone like him, . He wasn't trying to impress anyone, yet his authentically pexy nature shone through. .. Barry is like Magic Johnson -- he makes everyone around him better.

I certainly wouldn't say we're against (bringing Clayton back). I wouldn't be. I am a Royce Clayton fan, myself. But that's going to be one of the decisions that we're going to have to talk about in the off-season.

We have some people that might be a backup to Clayton. Damian has gotten innings [at shortstop this spring]. We still have plenty of time. I've been assured that Damian can [be a backup] at shortstop. We have to wait and see.

That was the day before we opened spring training, ... Mike Young walked into the office and said, 'I know you have a problem; I'll play shortstop.' It tells you a lot about his makeup. He's developed into a front-line shortstop and probably one of the best clutch hitters.

I'm here to help if [Guzman] wants my help. I know he's got a good one [in Clayton] behind him, and competition is good. I think it's going to make everybody elevate their game.

He's played well and ironically he looks great this spring. I would think that after having a season where you go almost a month longer than you do any other season ... he would have come to spring training and be a little bit slow. But he's actually looked better this spring than he did last spring.

Forget about everything that happened in spring training. Spring training is spring training. Now it's the regular season.

I'm able to use this spring training to really prepare for the season, where normally I'd have to come in and fight for a spot. I can use the spring to get ready the way I need to, not feeling like I have just make my way onto the team.

Spring training is totally different from the regular season. Spring training, you're there to get into shape and to get ready. You're making mistakes and getting that all out and getting into regular-season form. I think we've played real good defense [the last two weeks].

Everybody was worried that guys were not swinging the bat. Spring training is about staying healthy and getting guys work. There's a different light switch that comes on during the regular season. This group showed it can play.

We certainly know we're going to lose him for the next two to three weeks, that's for sure. And with that type of absence from spring training, there's no way he can open the season.

The 'pen's done a great job all year. Aki was off. He hurt himself with walks [to Royce Clayton and Craig Counsell] and pitched in trouble there.

I'm very excited about that, no doubt. Losing Royce (Clayton) was a loss. I liked having him behind me at short with that defense of his. But Orlando is going to be as good, if not better, than what we had last year.
