Here's an quote (caps mine):
''It will be tough, especially in the American League, to get your bench players playing time, and especially when a young player is coming up,'' (Manuel) said. ''[borchard] will play. He's a good athlete, and I THINK HE CAN SURVIVE."
Survive? If by "survive" does he mean Borchard can maintain the same excellent numbers he's posted in Charlotte this year? I'd think a slight dropoff would be acceptable since he's hitting big league pitching now.
