First Spring Training Game

With the Indians' first ST game coming tomorrow, there are a few things I will be looking for while they are in Florida and early on in the season.
1.) Will Boone and Broussard be on the team by the end of the season?
Grabbing Andy Marte from the RedSox for Coco Crisp was a great deal by Shapiro. They adressed a critical weakness in the farm system, and brought in one the best (if not the best) 3rd base prospects in the game. I just cant see Shapiro being happy with the production from the corners, and eventually something is gonna have to be done. How far is Garko from being ready at First base? Broussard has alot to prove this year, or he could run the same fate as Boone. Credit Shapiro for having other alternatives at first in case Broussard flops as well.

number 2 will be coming tomorrow.
