I agree the Ms are basically full up in AAA for the future. I believe they will still have a small number of "stop-loss" guys nonetheless if they plan on being contenders - the question is how many. My guess is that they will carry 1 non-40-roster vet in each position player area in Tacoma - a Quintero-type catcher (Gerald Laird?), an IF (Rivero, probably), and an OF (Guti or Endy?), and then 2-3 pitchers from the spaghetti (Gaviglio, Leutge, Olmos, Rollins?). Beyond that they probably won't go for exactly the reasons you state.
The bench is so constricted by the modern bullpen usage, that they have to have a few of the kind of guys that used to be on the ML bench available in AAA at short notice. But Casey Stengel normally had 1-2 swing men and 4 relievers and 4 starters - he could have *7* position players on his bench to platoon from. Everybody keeps talking about platoons as if those days were still here. The Ms are likely to have a C, and IF (Bloomquist), and an OF (THE question at hand) on the bench. Reinforcements will have to be available in Tacoma. Yes, Cruz CAN play RF, which gives a bit of flexibility, but if Ruggiano is to be platooned with a LH hitter, that guy will be the BU OF by default, and if Bloomie is to be the IF, then he'll have to cover for Morrison until a Tacoma guy can come up.
Meanwhile, the Ms will have to convince guys to sign minor league contracts to stash in Tacoma, because the roster is full. If Morrison goes down during the season, the 60-day DL is available for a roster spot. Not so until Spring Training is over. Hence the Ms dilemma - you've got to be ready for a contingency that the richness of your farm system paradoxically makes very difficult. And it gets more difficult as you burn up options on the Monteros and Erasmos and Romeros and Joneses.
I know you recognize all this - but I'm kind of venting at comments I read (mainly on other sites) that the Ms should sign this guy and that one and have multiple platoons. I've read that increasing the 25-man roster to 26 or even 27 is on the agenda for the 2016 labor negotiations, but that doesn't help today. If we want D.J. and Kivlehan and Hicks to get their AAA ABs and not get called up prematurely, we gotta hope there are some guys who will sign minor league contracts and the Ms figure out a way to stash them in AAA and keep them sharp when the season starts - for the times somebody is needed until June/July when the young'uns should be better prepared. Z's job is getting harder as the roster gets better ;-) !!!
