Okay... between these two... who loses PT as Garciaparra comes back?

I say Betmit...

lugo better pick it up before nomar gets back. but yeah i'd say he does, and betty gets the bench.

Lugo too good to not be in lineup... My guess is, mostly 3rd and then spotting for Kent and Nomar occassionally to givve Bettemit some ABs.

yeah not too mention the dodgers gave up two decent prospects to get lugo. I highly doubt he rides the pine for that reason alone. He started at 3B last night (instead of Betemit) and i would look to see more of that. He'll probably be used as a super utility man, just giving guys rest when they need it. One day will be kent, one day nomar (kent plays 1st), one day betemit, one day furcal.....and he might see some OF time. I figure as long as he keeps playing i'm happy and i'll take the extra eligibility any day...

I hope Betemit slides into a similar role to the one he had in Atl.
