I've been working hard all these years to win the job.
Even if they didn't sign him, you have to play to win the job.
Either could have won the job based on performance so far.
So why didn't he win a job in spring training?
But I won the job and hit 36 home runs.
But no game today meant one less opportunity to win a job.
And really, there's no reason to think he couldn't win the starting job.
"If one does not clearly win the job, I'll consider playing both of them."
I had to argue a long time to win the job.
He won a starting job in 1983 and has been there ever since.
