I guess Maddon doesn't even care how he handles lefties in Spring, his mind is made up and Joyce will still sit against tough lefties BUT they will finally let him play against weaker lefties and the plan is to have him work into a everyday role eventually this season

Did I miss the part where Joyce was given a real chance against lefties and failed? At least make him make your decision look smart, don't be so scared of him facing a lefty.
