Yost doesn't have heart set
JS Online: Notes: Yost doesn't have heart set
Phoenix - Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost said he's still running possible lineups through his mind for the 2008 season.
No matter how it finally shakes out, Yost said his two big boppers - Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun - will have to exercise patience at the plate.
"We've talked about it," said Yost. "It's really, really important for guys like 'Braunie' and Prince to be disciplined hitters at the plate.
"Pitchers are going to go out there, and in the back of their minds, they'd never admit it, but they're going to be very nervous when those two step into the box. So, they're not going to get a lot of good pitches to see."
