Sandberg to use spring camp to mix, match lineups

PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg will need to be pretty creative to get his team to score runs consistently in 2015, which could mean some experimentation with the lineup.

Sandberg only has so many options, but with Phillies pitchers and catchers holding their first workout Thursday at Carpenter Complex in Clearwater, Fla., he soon will get a chance to see which one might work best.
