I know I brought up the idea of O'Connell being the backup—which didn't come to fruition—to avoid Mendoza coming into the game off the bench.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

O'Connell backup plan didn't materialize; Mendoza may get situational reps instead.

O'Connell was considered as a potential backup option to avoid Mendoza coming off the bench as a rookie, but this did not come to fruition; the coaching staff may instead use situational series to get Mendoza reps without making him the starter.
