I'd almost rather give Aaron Bates a legit shot at playing time than play Ross Gload, Jr. on a regular basis.

If we don't tender Kotchman, we can use VMart as our backup 1B, and that's a more suitable option IMHO. that would allow us to carry a 5th OF, which I think we're going to wind up needing since Hermida's not much good in CF.
