Mientkiewicz Mid-May Return?

I just read where Doug Mientkiewicz is trying to play some outfield and third base for the Pirates this spring - in addition to his usual position.

It was not too long ago where I heard Michael Kay (on the The Michael Kay Show on ESPN Radio - 1050 AM in NYC) tell a story where, supposedly, Mientkiewicz came to Brian Cashman this off-season, with his hat in hand, looking for a job. As Kay told it, Cash told Mientkiewicz that he was looking in another direction – to which Mientkiewicz, reportedly, told Cashman 'Just watch, you’re going to miss me; and, I’ll be back on your team by May 15th.’

Again, this was all per Kay, so, who knows? But, assuming it is true, it will be interesting to see if Mientkiewicz was right or not, once May 15th comes up on the calendar.
