They're either thinking of dealing Thornton and replacing him with one of those two guys (assuming Reed is the eventual closer) or they're not quite ready to commit to going with Santiago/Stults/Veal, etc.
The bullpen looks right now to have basically four rookies, and that has to be a major concern to Ventura.
It was pretty unlikely they would break camp with 3 lefties, so we'll just have to wait and see what develops.
I think its more of the last option. I dont blame them if thats the case.
