“Our focus is on a traditional backup middle infielder that can play shortstop and can spell, if it turns out that it’s Tyler Pastornicky [in the starting role], that can spell him and maybe give him a day off a tough [pitcher] that Fredi feels like protects him a little bit, those type of scenarios. We’re not looking at [adding a] guy that’s a part-time shortstop or a semi-regular.  We’re going with a traditional backup shortstop. That’s been our focus.” [Atlanta Journal Constitution]
