ST. PETERSBURG — Matt Quatraro won't know until the Rays start playing games exactly how he will adapt to his new role as bench coach on Kevin Cash's staff. But he is quite sure he is ready for the challenge after being promoted from third-base coach.

"I don't know exactly what will be different on a day-to-day basis and what I'll be exposed to than before, but I'm looking forward to that kind of stuff and to keep learning about the game.
