Anticipated platoons at catcher and in left field also make Mattingly's decision harder. 'And in a perfect world, you'd like to leave Andre and Matt in a stable position (third and fourth) and not mess with them in the order. But you want protection for Matt. It could be Juan Uribe, it could be James Loney. Uribe has done about everything. He's led off, he's hit second, he's the kind of hitter you can tinker with. Blake is an interesting guy in the two-hole. He hits the other way, he can take a pitch and with Raffy in there, he gives us a lefty-righty at the top against right-handers. Jamey Carroll, when he plays, can hit in either spot. If (Tony) Gwynn is in the lineup, he could be up there,' Mattingly said.
