Oh stop worrying about it. I'll be Mark's backup after all I was a ball player.

I'm just weighing the risk/reward of bringing him back early vs acquiring another short term 1Bman at the trade deadline, if needed....again, what's the advantage of bringing Bird back early?

None really. With no spring training or a season I also don't know what would be expected of him.
