More Quotes from Frank Robinson:
In talking with Royce myself over the winter, Royce has indicated to me that he is coming here to compete for the shortstop job, and he wanted to know if he would have that opportunity. I think Jim Bowden told him he would have the opportunity, and I certainly told him that he would have the opportunity to compete. I never got into asking him if he would accept that backup role if he didn't. The guy is coming here to compete for a job. He doesn't want to talk about backing up if it doesn't happen.Frank Robinson
