Sure - I get that. If we end up with 2024 Gimenez and 2022 Kirk - then I suspect you'd see Kirk moved up and this plan abandoned. But if we get 2024 Kirk, there's really no need to push him higher in the lineup.
I don't have an issue with them starting out with that configuration until we see how they are performing. That said, the way Kirk's been hitting the ball in the spring, I'd have a short leash.
